Establishing soil loss tolerance: an overview

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2016
Soil loss tolerance is a criterion for establishing if a soil is potentially subjected to erosion risk, productivity loss and if a river presents downstream over-sedimentation or other off-site effects are present at basin scale.

Impact of land-use and land-cover change on soil erosion using the RUSLE model and the geographic information system: a case of Temeji watershed, Western Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2021
The impact of land-use land-cover (LULC) change on soil resources is getting global attention. Soil erosion is one of the critical environmental problems worldwide with high severity in developing countries.

Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)-Predicted Soil Loss for Harvesting Regimes in Appalachian Hardwoods [PDF]

open access: yesNorthern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2002
Abstract Soil erosion from forest harvesting is a major environmental concern. While there has been research comparing soil erosion on clearcut regeneration harvests with that on uncut forests, there has been little focus on the differences among common silvicultural harvests.

Comparison of the Effects of the Different Methods for Computing the Slope Length Factor at a Watershed Scale

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2013
The slope length factor is one of the parameters of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and is sometimes calculated based on a digital elevation model (DEM).

Predicting soil erosion potential under CMIP6 climate change scenarios in the Chini Lake Basin, Malaysia

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2023
Climate change and soil erosion are very associated with environmental defiance which affects the life sustainability of humans. However, the potency effects of both events in tropical regions are arduous to be estimated due to atmospheric conditions and

Soil Erosion: A Review of Models and Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Soil erosion is a global environmental problem influenced by both natural and human factors. Modeling provides a quantitative and consistent approach to estimate soil erosion and sediment yield under a wide range of conditions, and is needed to guide the

Modeling of water erosion by the erosion potential method in a pilot subbasin in southern Minas Gerais

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2019
Soil losses due to water erosion threaten the sustainability of agriculture and the food security of current and future generations. This study estimated potential soil losses and sediment production under different types of land uses in a subbasin in ...

ACOMPARISON OF THE R-FACTOR IN THE UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION AND REVISED UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the ASAE, 1999
The R-factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation /Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE/RUSLE)characterizes the climatic influence on the average rate of soil loss. The way in which the R-factor was calculated forRUSLE differs from that for the USLE.

Monthly RUSLE soil erosion risk of Swiss grasslands

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2019
This study presents the first mapping of soil erosion risk modelling based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) at a sub-annual (monthly) temporal resolution and national scale (100 m spatial resolution).

Adaptation and application of the erosion potential method for tropical soils1

open access: yesRevista Ciência Agronômica, 2020
The water erosion process has a considerable negative effect on tropical soils, causes soil losses from arable land and reduces the capacity to support surrounding ecosystems.
