Abstract Assessment and estimation of soil loss is a fundamental aspect land water resource conservation management practices as it provides necessary information in the course watershed-level development region. The model Wischmeier Smith, popularly known Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, was selected to estimate lower Kulsi river basin due its simplicity, versatility, flexibility nature m...

As mudanças no uso e cobertura da terra provocam impactos nas paisagens gera problemas ambientais. Nesse sentido, considerando o município de Águas Lindas – GO, objetivo deste trabalho é: analisar terra; identificar as áreas suscetíveis a erosão avaliar perda solos. Para análise do utilizou-se base digital Projeto MapBiomas período 1985 2017. A suscetibilidade erosiva foi feita pelo método Anal...

Soil loss erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems (widespread globally), which is a menace to sustainable ecosystems and agriculture. As the previous studies show, the world’s highest soil loss rates due to erosion are in three continents, i.e. Asia, Africa, and South America. A new method was proposed to statistically evaluate the most appropriate cell size for LS factor inpu...

The increasing use and capability of geocomputation tools, as well as increasing availability of land resource information, offer opportunities to utilise such tools for the effective management of information for planning purposes. One among those is the development of spatially-based models that may be used for efficiently undertaking land suitability assessment based on available information...
