Soil conservation (SC) is an important ecosystem regulating service. At present, methods for SC mapping to identify priority areas are primarily based on empirical soil erosion models, such as the RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) based model. However, the parameters of the empirical soil conservation model are based on long-term observations of field experiments at small spatial sca...

Abstract Purpose The sediment supply to rivers, lakes, and reservoirs has a great influence on hydro-morphological processes. For instance, long-term predictions of bathymetric change for modeling climate scenarios require an objective calculation procedure load as function catchment characteristics hydro-climatic parameters. Thus, the overarching this study is develop viable assessment methods...

Erosion process occurs naturally, shaping the Earth’s surface. Soil loss can cause harmful effects to environment when intensive anthropic activities occur. Mathematical models have been used as effective and less costly alternatives for identifying sites highly prone soil loss, especially at watershed scale. In Brazil, Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) is one of most commonly prediction ...

Peyzaj bozulmalarına sebep olan en önemli fiziksel etkiler arasında erozyon başta gelmektedir. Toprak kayıpları sonucunda birçok habitat etkilenebilmektedir. Erozyon sonucu bozulmuş peyzajların iyileştirilmesi için toprak kayıplarının dağılımının ve miktarının bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Yenilenmiş Evrensel Kaybı Eşitliği (RUSLE) tahmin edilmesin de kullanılan matematiksel bir modeldir. Bu çalışma...

In this paper, we attempted to review the erosion in Ouergha watershed by applying two spatial approaches. The has an area of around 7300 km² representing approximately 18.2% Sebou basin which it is main tributary. order develop map using SWAT model, was important prepare a large database describing proprieties, furthermore, daily hydro-climatic data. This model integrates MUSLE equation for es...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract The Mediterranean environment is characterized by strong temporal variations in rainfall volume and intensity, soil moisture and vegetation cover along the year. These factors play a key role on soil erosion. The aim of this work is to ide...

This work describes a genetic programming (GP) approach that creates vegetation indices (VI’s) to automatically detect the sum of healthy, dry, and dead vegetation. Nowadays, it is acknowledged that VI’s are the most popular method for extracting vegetation information from satellite imagery. In particular, erosion models like the “Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation” (RUSLE) can use VI’s as i...

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model integrated with Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) was positively validated to spatially assess soil erosion risk in the Taung Watershed of Ramotswa Agricultural District during period 2000 – 2020. estimated annual averaged 12.04 12.74 t/ha/year 2020, respectively. Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) type were found be ke...
