Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation  

Definition

  • Information The potential for erosion can be calculated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The equation is written as A = R x K x LS x C x P where: A = predicted soil loss R = rainfall and runoff K = soil erodibility LS = slope length and steepness C = crop management P = support practices (farming direction, strip cropping, etc.)
