The Western Balkans (WB) region is highly prone to water erosion processes, and therefore, the estimation of rainfall erosivity (R-factor) essential for understanding complex relationships between hydro-meteorological factors soil processes. main objectives this study are (1) estimate spatial-temporal distribution R-factor across WB by applying RUSLE RUSLE2 methodology with data period 1991 202...

The ongoing diversification of agricultural lands in Hawaii to replace sugarcane and pineapple plantations is a major challenge. It presents an interesting case study for global concerns with land degradation-land use interaction. The important question posed by this paper is: will “diversified” crops have a different impact on the natural resource base and environmental quality from earlier cr...

Soil erosion is a serious environmental and production problem in the Three Gorge Areas (TGA) of China. The objectives of the study were to develop and validate a soil erosion-predicting model based on the revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) in a geographic information systems (GIS) environment. The use of GIS to develop conservation-oriented watershed management strategies in the Taip...
