Quantitative assessment of soil erosion using GIS empirical methods in the upper catchment of Bârsa River
The study regards the estimation of soil erosion rate through the application of the USLE/RUSLE equation within GIS in the upper basin of Bârsa River. Our work also compares between treed and deforested nearby areas. The end product is a susceptibility map that can be used as a support to determine...

| Summary: | The study regards the estimation of soil erosion rate through the application of the USLE/RUSLE equation within GIS in the upper basin of Bârsa River. Our work also compares between treed and deforested nearby areas. The end product is a susceptibility map that can be used as a support to determine the regions that are prone to erosion. This study only addresses rill and inter-rill erosion. |
