Revisiting Classic Water Erosion Models In Drylands: The Strong Impact Of Biological Soil Crusts, Veer Chaudhary Dec 2007

Revisiting Classic Water Erosion Models In Drylands: The Strong Impact Of Biological Soil Crusts, Veer Chaudhary

V. Bala Chaudhary

Soil erosion and subsequent degradation has been a contributor to societal collapse in the past and is one of the major expressions of desertification in arid regions. The revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) models soil lost to water erosion as a function of climate erosivity (the degree to which rainfall can result in erosion), topography, soil erodibility, and land use/management. The soil erodibility factor (K) is primarily based upon inherent soil properties (those which change slowly or not at all) such as soil texture and organic matter content, while the cover/management factor (C) is based on several parameters including …
