Rainfall Erosivity in Northeastern Austria

Transactions of the ASABE, 2013
Abstract. Rainfall erosivity is the main driver for soil detachment and sediment transport, and represents the climatic factor most influencing the risk of soil erosion at a given site. Our objectives were to explore 15 min rainfall breakpoint data from 51 rain gauges in the northeastern part of Austria to (1) calculate rainfall erosivity values for ...

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 ...

RainfallErosivityFactor: An R package for rainfall erosivity (R-factor) determination

, 2020
RainfallErosivityFactor is an R package developed as a tool for the analysis of rainfall data and the calculation of the R-factor, a relevant parameter for soil loss prediction due to water erosion.

Rainfall Erosivity over Rhodesia

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1976
The paper discusses the basis of the determination of the erosive potential of rainfall, termed 'erosivity'. Using bare soil as a standard, a measure linking kinetic energy and a maximum sustained intensity (EI3o) is found to be the most generally applicable erosivity parameter over large areas of Rhodesia.

Rainfall erosivity: An historical review

CATENA, 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 ...

Effects of rainfall patterns on runoff and rainfall-induced erosion

International Journal of Sediment Research, 2019
Abstract Rainfall-induced erosion involves the detachment of soil particles by raindrop impact and their transport by the combined action of the shallow surface runoff and raindrop impact. Although temporal variation in rainfall intensity (pattern) during natural rainstorms is a common phenomenon, the available information is inadequate to understand

Rainfall changes and rainfall erosivity increase in the Algarve (Portugal)

CATENA, 1995
Abstract There is evidence that, between hydrological years 1931/2 and 1990/ 1, rainfall changed in the Algarve. There was an annual rainfall increase (+9%) and a 7% increase in rainfall during the rainy period (October to February). Both trends were statistically confirmed by parametric and nonparametric procedures.

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

Spatial-temporal distribution of rainfall erosivity, erosivity density and correlation with El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the Huaihe River Basin, China

Ecological Informatics, 2019
Rainfall erosivity (RE) is the ability of rainfall to cause soil or regolith erosion. Understanding the spatial distribution and temporal trends of RE is critical for assessing soil erosion risk and improving upon soil conservation planning.
