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 Loss Assessment Using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) Model
Many catchment areas have suffered from exhaustive changes because of various land use activities over the recent past. These land use changes are associated with intensified environmental degradation witnessed in catchment areas.

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 ...

D-RUSLE: a dynamic model to estimate potential soil erosion with satellite time series in the Italian Alps [PDF]
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.

Soil erosion assessment on hillslope of GCE using RUSLE model
A new method for obtaining the C factor (i.e., vegetation cover and management factor) of the RUSLE model is proposed. The method focuses on the derivation of the C factor based on the vegetation density to obtain a more reliable erosion prediction. Soil erosion that occurs on the hillslope along the highway is one of the major problems in Malaysia ...

Exploring soil erosion and reservoir sedimentation through the RUSLE model and bathymetric survey
The aim of the paper was to compare the soil erosion in a river catchment with the sediment volume accumulated at the river mouth. Firstly, the sediment yield was estimated in GIS based on the soil loss according to the RUSLE model, and then further ...

MODELLING SOIL EROSION IN THE ALPS WITH DYNAMIC RUSLE-LIKE MODEL AND SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS [PDF]
Soil water erosion is a creeping natural phenomenon, mostly related to weather and climate, and one of the main hydrogeological risk in Europe. It causes nutrients loss and exposes the environment to landslides, with negative impacts on agriculture, ecosystem services and infrastructures.

Targeting phosphorus loss with carbon farming practices? Results from an on-farm study. [PDF]
Abstract Agricultural soils lose P to waterbodies and C to the atmosphere. Reversing the C trend requires change in management (carbon farming), but what is the effect of carbon farming practices on P transport from soils to waterbodies? This was empirically studied by analyzing the P loss risks from 20 farms participating in a 5‐year on‐farm carbon ...

Comparison of long-term field-measured and RUSLE-based modelled soil loss in Switzerland [PDF]
Long-term field measurements to asses model-based soil erosion predictions by water are rare. We have compared field measurements based on erosion assessment surveys from a 10-year monitoring process with spatial-explicit model predictions with the ...
