Rainfall erosivity: An historical review

open access: yesCATENA, 2017
Abstract Rainfall erosivity is the capability of rainfall to cause soil loss from hillslopes by water. Modern definitions of rainfall erosivity began with the development of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), where rainfall characteristics were statistically related to soil loss from thousands of plot-years of natural rainfall and runoff data ...

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.

Rainfall Erosivity in Austria

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
15-min rainfall depth time series recorded at 51 rain gauges in two Austrian states (Lower and Upper Austria) situated in the northern and eastern part of the country have been used to calculate long-term rainfall erosivities, average erosivities of single storms, and number and average rainfall intensities of these storms.

Linking Gully Erosion and Rainfall Erosivity

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
Gully erosion is an ancient and important worldwide problem capable of dramatically increasing sediment yields when active. Rainfall erosivity is a key variable in this phenomenon. However, there are few studies that explore the relationship between rainfall erosivity and gully erosion.

Spatio-temporal analysis of rainfall erosivity and erosivity density in Greece

open access: yesCatena, 2016
Rainfall erosivity considers the effects of rainfall amount and intensity on soil detachment. Rainfall erosivity is most commonly expressed as the R-factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its revised version, RUSLE.
