in the universal soil loss equation (usle), soil erodibility factor (k) is estimated through nomograph. using the nomograph in calcareous soils may lead to uncertainty in estimating the erodibility factor. this study was conducted in hashtrud, (north west of iran) from march 2005 to march 2006. field measurements were carried out in an agricultural area of 30 km × 30 km. thirty six land grids w...

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an opportunity for researchers publish novel results that could help landowners, land-users, farmers, politicians, and other representatives our global society protect, and, if possible, improve the quality quantity precious soil resources. Authors were encouraged submit papers related new ways mapping, showing more detailed input data, modeling r...

Abstract This article presents the identification of soil use potential for different agropastoral and forest scenarios, using an indicator erosion susceptibility from spatialized Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). All USLE factors were ArcGis 10.5 software, case study Cachoeira Cinco Veados Watershed-RS. To determine R factor, we used Cassol et al. 2007 equation a 33-year series rain data si...

Water erosion is one of the biggest environmental problems, causing a reduction in agricultural productivity and compromising quality quantity water resources. Therefore, development researches that help planning land use management aiming at sustainable agriculture necessity state Goiás. This work was carried out with objectives analyzing annual distribution rainfall erosivity, determining fac...

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de nuestro estudio sobre la cartografía y estimación erosión del agua utilizando dos tipos métodos. El primero es el PAP/RAC 1998 que actúa en marco Plan Acción para Mediterráneo (PAM) PNUMA, segundo modelo empírico WISCHMEIER SMITH 1978 (USLE).En cuenca Oued Amlil (153,7 km²) situada al noroeste Taza (noreste Marruecos) se dan todas las condiciones desencad...

Superficial erosion is one of the main soil degradation agents and erosion rates estimations for different edaphicclimate conditions for the conventional models, as USLE and RUSLE, are expensive and time-consuming. The use of cesium antrophogenic radionuclide is a new methodology that has been much studied and its application in the erosion soil evaluation has grown in countries as USA, UK, Aus...

Sustainable soil environment along with available water resources is critical for food security and agricultural productivity. The Korea territory consists of 65% mountainous topography the variability rainfall rapidly increasing due to climate change, thereby a risk erosion. Soil erosion by has been estimated using empirical equations accumulated data over time in U.S. since 1930 s, representa...
