Rainfall erosivity map for Brazil

CATENA, 2004
Abstract Rainfall erosivity is the potential ability for rainfall to cause soil loss. Erosivity can be quantified by means of the R factor calculation of the universal soil loss equation (USLE). The purpose of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of annual rainfall erosivity in Brazil.

Extreme rainfall, rainfall erosivity, and hillslope erosion in Australian Alpine region and their future changes

International Journal of Climatology, 2019
AbstractThe Australian Alpine region is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events such as heavy rainfall and snow falls, these events subsequently impact rainfall erosivity and hillslope erosion in the region. In this study, the relationship between extreme rainfall indices (ERIs) and rainfall erosivity was examined across the Alpine region in New ...

Estimation of Rainfall Erosion Index

Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1974
The rainfall erosion index in the Universal Soil-Loss Equation has been intensively studied using an analytic approach. Simplified procedures for its computation have been developed and presented. The methodology ties together the eastern and western portions of the United States and is based primarily upon the rainfall distribution curves as published

Rainfall erosivity in south-central Nigeria

Soil Technology, 1995
Abstract Rainfall data collected from 1986 to 1990 at Okomu (6° 25′N; 5° 12′E; 76 m above mean sea level), a humid forest area near Benin City, southern Nigeria, were used to evaluate erosivity characteristics. The average annual rainfall was 2048 mm and the distribution pattern was unimodal.

Rainfall erosivity map for Ghana

Geoderma, 1996
Abstract Monthly rainfall data, spanning over a period of more than thirty years, were used to compute rainfall erosivity indices for various stations in Ghana, using the Fournier index, c , defined as p 2 P , where p is the rainfall amount in the wettest month and P is the annual rainfall amount.

Rainfall erosivity in Brazil: A review

CATENA, 2013
article i nfo In this paper, we review the erosivity studies conducted in Brazil to verify the quality and representativeness of the results generated and to provide a greater understanding of the rainfall erosivity (R factor) in Brazil. We searched the ISI Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases and in recent theses and ...

Rainfall Simulators for Soil Erosion Research

2017
Rainfall simulators are research tools designed to apply water in a form similar to natural rainstorms. Researchers can measure hydrologic or soil erosion characteristics of newly developed cropping and management practices in a relatively short time. The drop formers that produce the simulated raindrops are the key components of rainfall simulators. A
