Global rainfall erosivity assessment based on high-temporal resolution rainfall records [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The exposure of the Earth’s surface to the energetic input of rainfall is one of the key factors controlling water erosion. While water erosion is identified as the most serious cause of soil degradation globally, global patterns of rainfall erosivity ...

Mapping monthly rainfall erosivity in Europe
Science of the Total Environment, 2017 Rainfall erosivity as a dynamic factor of soil loss by water erosion is modelled intra-annually for the first time at European scale. The development of Rainfall Erosivity Database at European Scale (REDES) and its 2015 update with the extension to monthly component allowed to develop monthly and seasonal R-factor maps and assess rainfall erosivity ...
