Description :
This study presents a sensitivity analysis of the soil erosion model LISEM, whereby not only the sensitivity to parameter values is considered, but attention is focused on the effects of process descriptions and the routing of overland flow. As erosion models include a wide range of processes (i.e. rainfall, interception, surface storage, overland flow, soil erosion and deposition), this implies that only a relatively small fraction of all possible variations is explored here.
