The simplest application of
RUSLE2 is to assume a simple uniform slope.
RUSLE2 estimates the amount of sediment leaving the slope length
assumed in the RUSLE2 computation.
|
|
Soil loss is the net mass of
sediment removed from a particular portion of the slope.
|
|
In this simple uniform
slope, sediment yield, which is the amount of sediment delivered to the end
of the slope equals soil loss. If
deposition, like the deposition that occurs on concave slopes had occurred,
sediment yield would have been less than soil loss.
|
|
Soil loss is expressed in
unit of mass divided by the area that produced the soil loss.
