rainfall erosivity is the ability of rainfall to detach the soil particles. this study was conducted to evaluate spatial variability of rainfall erosivity indices in khouzestan province. the point data of indices (ei30, aim, ke>1 and onchev indices) in 74 stations were used to generate spatial erosivity maps through deterministic and geostatistical interpolation methods (radial basis functions,...

introduction rainfall erosivity, the propulsion or power of causing erosion in separation and transport of soil particles, is in relation to water erosion. rainfall erosion is causing loss of soil, damage to agriculture and infrastructures which is followed by water pollution. changes in rainfall patterns exacerbate risk of erosion globally. rainfall erosivity plays an effective role in soil er...

soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. this study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. for this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...

Abstract. Despite recent developments in modeling global soil erosion by water, to date, no substantial progress has been made towards more dynamic inter- and intra-annual assessments. In this regard, the main challenge is still represented limited availability of high temporal resolution rainfall data needed estimate erosivity. As will most likely not increase future decades since monitoring n...
