Soil Loss Estimation: Measurement and Universal Soil Loss Equation! Soil losses occur from areas subjected to different types of erosion. The soil loss varies with the type of erosion and it is also influenced by all the factors that affect erosion. Along with the soil losses, loss of plant nutrients also occurs. Estimation of soil losses under a given set [...]
The Universal Soil Loss Equation was developed to predict the annual soil loss from field-size small areas. This equation does not compute the sediment yield from the watershed, directly. To compute the sediment yield by use of USLE, the computed soil loss using USLE is multiplied with the delivery ratio of watershed. Since, USLE predicts the annual soil loss, therefore, [...]
In this article we will discuss about universal soil loss equation used to estimate soil loss. The water erosion is a complex process. It involves inter-relationships between several factors. Few of them influence the potential of rainfall and runoff to detach and transport the soil particles from soil mass. And few are that, which affect the soil ability to resist [...]
