SOIL ERODIBILITY - K
ØEffect of texture
-clay (0.1 - 0.2) resistant to detachment
-sand (0.05 - 0.15) easily detached, low runoff, large, dense particles not easily transported
-silt loam (0.25 - 0.35) moderately detachable, moderate to high runoff
-silt (0.4 -0.6) easily detached, high runoff, small, easily transported sediment
Values shown in parenthesis are typical K factors for those texture groups.
