Measuring and predicting soil erosion in Erosion and sediment yield : some methods of measurement and modelling.

Auteur :
HADLEY, R. F.

Description :
In order to understand the processes of erosion, field methods both simple and sophisticated have been developed to measure the quantity of soil that is eroded in a specific period of time. These measurements together with data on precipitation, soil, vegetation, topography and land-use can be used to develop empirical relations for prediction of soil erosion and estimation of sediment yield.
