Improving the global applicability of the RUSLE model – adjustment of the topographical and rainfall erosivity factors [PDF]
Large uncertainties exist in estimated rates and the extent of soil erosion by surface runoff on a global scale. This limits our understanding of the global impact that soil erosion might have on agriculture and climate.

A new approach to estimate cover-management factor of RUSLE and validation of RUSLE model in the watershed of Kartalkaya Dam [PDF]
RUSLE is one of the most widely used soil erosion model worldwide. However, some of the input parameters of RUSLE may require extensive field and laboratory studies, and therefore in most of the cases these parameters are estimated according to some alternative approaches. In this context, cover-management factor (C) has significant importance since it

ESTIMATION OF SOIL LOSSES BY THE IMPROVED TILLAGE HOMOGENIZATION MODEL AND RUSLE MODEL [PDF]
Soil erosion by water is a major environmental problem in the Mediterranean areas. It results in land degradation and soil losses, decreases soil structural stability, and increases soil erodibility.

The slope length and slope steepness factor (LS-factor) formula in the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) has a considerable level of uncertainty due to the existence of multiple methods. In this study, four commonly used formulas for the slope

Estimation of Soil Erosion Rate in Gaushan Watershed Using RUSLE 3D Model [PDF]
To reduce soil erosion, one of the most important issues is to quantify the amount of erosion and sediment so that planners can make correct decisions in line with the integrated management of watersheds.

Soil erosion in an avalanche release site (Valle d'Aosta: Italy): towards a winter factor for RUSLE in the Alps [PDF]
Soil erosion in Alpine areas is mainly related to extreme topographic and weather conditions. Although different methods of assessing soil erosion exist, the knowledge of erosive forces of the snow cover needs more investigation in order to allow soil ...

Erosive processes influence on several phenomena. In particular, they could influence on land depletion, on vegetation weakening, on aggradation phenomena of intermediate, and plain reaches of rivers, on waterways interruption due to overaggradation ...

Soil erosion is addressed as one of the main hydrogeological risks in the European Union. Since the average annual soil loss rate exceeds the annual average formation rate, soil is considered as a non-renewable resource.
