Soil erosion is a major problem around the world because of its effects on soil productivity,
nutrient loss, siltation in water bodies, and degradation of water quality. By understanding …

In this paper, we review the erosivity studies conducted in Brazil to verify the quality and
representativeness of the results generated and to provide a greater understanding of the …

Soil erosion is a growing problem especially in areas of agricultural activity where soil
erosion not only leads to decreased agricultural productivity but also reduces water …

The devastating effect of soil erosion is one of the major sources of land degradation that
affects human lives in many ways which occur mainly due to deforestation, poor agricultural …

Abstract A Geographical Information System (GIS) based method is proposed and
demonstrated for the identification of sediment source and sink areas and the prediction of …

ABSTRACT The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is the most widely used
global soil erosion model. The poor performance of the RUSLE is solely dependent on the …

One of the most widely used indicators of potential water erosion risk is the rainfall-runoff
erosivity factor (R) of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). R is traditionally …

Water erosion has been considered as the most important worldwide environmental
problem, being especially caused by intense rainfall events. The potential of rain to generate …

Urban development without adequate soil erosion control measures is becoming a major
environmental concern in developing urban areas across Africa. These environmental …

Core Ideas The R factor was developed in the various versions of the USLE. Research on
rainfall erosivity estimation methods, mapping, and temporal trends is summarized. The …
