Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in Kothagiri Taluk. Many studies have been carried out to map shifting cultivation and areas susceptible to soil erosion. Mostly, estimated soil loss is taken as the basis to classify the level of soil loss susceptibility of area. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) function is a commonly used erosion model for this purpose in Kothagi...

the presentstudy aimed to compare the annual soil loss prediction of rusle model with the soil erosion measurements using erosion pins and plots in khamesan representative watershed, kurdistan province. for this purpose, the distributed annual soil loss was estimated by rusle model. the suspended sediment samples were then collected daily for one year (2015/7 to 2016/6) in hydrometry station at...

risk assessment of soil erosion, one of the most important land degradation problems worldwide, is very essential for land and water resources management, and development of soil conservation methods. in the present study, the temporal changes of soil erosion risk were assessed from 1987 to 2010, based on the revised universal soil loss equation (rusle) using remote sensing (rs) and geographic ...

Accurate assessment of soil loss is essential for sustainable agricultural production, 11 management and conservation planning, especially in productive rain-fed agro-ecosystems 12 and protected areas. The European Union considers soil as a non-renewable resource and 13 identifies that soil degradation has strong impacts on soil and water resources. In this work the 14 Revised Universal Soil Lo...

A comprehensive methodology that integrates erosion models, Geographic Information System (GIs) techniques, and a sediment delivery concept for estimating water erosion and sediment delivery at the watershed scale was presented. The method was applied to a typical agricultural watershed in the state of Idaho, which is subject to increasing soil erosion and flooding problems. The Revised Univers...

The APEX (Agricultural Policy-Environmental eXtender) model developed in the United States was calibrated for northwestern China's conditions. The model was then used to investigate soil erosion effects associated with alternative land uses at the ZFG (Zi-Fang-Gully) watershed in northwestern China. The results indicated that the APEX model could be calibrated reasonably well (+/-15% errors) to...

Long-term field measurements to asses model-based soil erosion predictions by water are rare. We have compared based on assessment surveys from a 10-year monitoring process with spatial-explicit model the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). Robust input data were available for both mapped and modelled parameters 203 arable fields covering an area of 258 ha in Swiss Midlands. The 1639 ...
