Abstract

The soil erosion estimation procedure using RUSLE is adapted to the biophysical environment comprising soil, rainfall, topography, land cover and interactions between them. The estimation of soil loss using revised universal soil loss equation model implemented for estimating the mean annual soil loss. The aim of this review to show the estimated soil loss in different researcher using the same model. From these review the estimated mean annual soil loss is different in the same model (RUSLE). These is mainly the result of estimated annual soil loss is not the same per year as different researchers indicated in the table 1 because the mean annual soil loss is depend on the condition of the environment that means it dpend on soil erodibility, rainfall erosivity and slope steepnees and slope length of the area, land use of the area and management practice of investigation area. Some researchers of result indicate the same mean annual soil loss.
