Vulnerability of soil separates to detachment by water is described as soil erodibility by Universal Soil Loss Equation which can be affected by land use change. In this study it was attempted to quantify the changes of Universal Soil Loss Equation K-factor and its soil driving factors in three land uses including rangeland, rainfed farming, and orchards in Babolrood watershed, northern Iran. S...

Water erosion is a natural fact in the cycle of shaping earth’s landforms and most evident form of land degradation on a planetary scale (Roose & De Noni, 2004; Dautrebande Sohier, 2006; Toumi et al., 2013; Azaiez, 2020a). Its effects have largely affected rural landscape. Although it result of an ancient primeval climatic tectonic forcing, man’s footprint its intensification remains reali...

Soil erosion is one of the most critical environmental hazards of recent times. A large area suffers from soil erosion, which in turn, reduces productivity. Methods such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation or Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation are widely used for the estimation of soil erosion from catchment areas. The paper deals with the estimation of soil erosion using Universal Soil Loss ...
