||
− | The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) allows one to calculate the long-term average soil erosion rates for mainly agricultural lands. When calculating the USLE, five major factors must be taken into consideration: |
||
− | |||
− | A = R * K * LS * C * P |
||
− | |||
− | Where: |
||
− | A is the potential long-term erosion rate in tonnes per hectare |
||
− | R is the rainfall run off factor |
||
− | K is the soil erodibility factor |
||
− | LS is the slope length-gradient factor |
||
− | C is the crop factor |
||
− | P is the conservation practices factor |
