Towards mapping large scale soil erodibility by using pedological knowledge

Soil erodibility is a key parameter to measure soil susceptibility to water erosion and thus to soil erosion modelling, introduced as K factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). However, subject to soil spatial heterogeneity and data availability, large-scale K value acquisition has not been properly addressed. In this study, authors aimed to construct a new large-scale soil...
