A nonparametric/parametric analysis of the Universal Soil Loss Equation
Due to its modest data demands and transparent model structure, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) remains the most popular tool for water erosion hazard assessment. However, the model has several shortcomings, two of which are likely to have prominent implications for the model results. First, the mathematical form of the USLE, the multiplication of six factors, easily leads to large erro...
متن کاملWater erosion prediction using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and GIS: A case study of Gorganrud Basin
Soil erosion and sedimentation processes can be considered as serious eco-environmentalproblems. This study aimed to estimate the basin-wide erosion using the Revised UniversalSoil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The soil erosion parameters included rainfall erosivity mapgenerated from the rainfall data, soil erodibility extracted from the soil map, land cover andmanagement map produced from supervised ...

متن کاملAssessing the applicability of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to Irish Catchments
Elevated suspended sediment concentrations in fluvial environments have important implications for system ecology and even small concentrations may have serious consequences for sensitive ecosystems or organisms, such as freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera). Informed decision making is therefore required for land managers to understand and control soil erosion and sediment del...
متن کاملAn Empirical Soil Loss Equation
A model was developed for estimating average annual soil loss by water on hillslope for cropland, which is called Chines Soil Loss Equation (CSLE). Six factors causing soil loss were evaluated based on soil loss data collected from experiment stations covering most regions of China and modified to the scale of Chinese unit plot defined. The model uses an empirical multiplicative equation, A=RKL...
