Sediment is a mixture of
primary particles and aggregates.
|
|
Soil texture plays the major
role in determining the sediment characteristics at the point of
detachment. The effect of soil texture
on sediment characteristics at the point of detachment is considered by
RUSLE2.
|
|
High quality soil management
that improves soil aggregates also affects sediment characteristics at the
point of detachment, but that effect is not considered by RUSLE2.

|
RUSLE2 computes how
deposition enriches the sediment in fines.
