RUSLE FOR DETERMINING SOIL LOSS TOLERANCE
A Amazônia vem sofrendo severas mudanças provocadas por atividades antrópicas, dentre as quais se destaca a transformação de áreas de floresta em áreas de uso agropecuário, resultando na intensificação dos processos erosivos. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi aplicar o modelo empírico RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) no trecho ...

Remote Sensing Analysis In RUSLE Erosion Estimation
Soil erosion is a major issue in various hemispheres. It is because erosion affects the survival of ecosystem. Diverse human actions, e.g., bushes burning and illegal logging, play a role in accelerating erosion. Climate factor such as rain intensity has also an influence in the release of soil particles.
