Detachment Proportional to Slope
Length Factor
Ø Slope length effect
- l= (x/72.6)n
- x = location on slope
- n = slope length exponent
Ø Slope length exponent
- Related to rill:interrill ratio
- Slope steepness, rill:interrill erodibility, ground
cover, soil biomass, soil consolidation
Ø Slope length factor varies on a daily basis
