Deposition in depressions
formed by random roughness and in furrows between ridges is local deposition.
|
|
The deposition occurs very
near to the location where the detachment occurred.
|
|
The area of deposition is
comparable to the area of detachment.
|
|
The deposition is widespread
over the entire slope rather than being concentrated in relatively small
downslope areas.
|
|
The detachment computed by
RUSLE2 is actually the net of local detachment and local deposition. That is, RUSLE2 does not explicitly compute
local deposition, but RUSLE2 explicitly computes remote deposition.
|
|
|
|
Oriented roughness, such as
ridging, may also cause local deposition.
