Soil erosion is a natural process that models the land surface, building large geological ensembles and erosion relief from the most trivial to the most obvious forms of erosion that gives the characteristic note of geographical landscapes. Subjected to a continuous disintegration, fragments of rock and fine particles of soil are detached and transported by the movement of diverse masses of material: blown or taken from rainwater, and then transported by streams and rivers and finally submitted along river valleys...

Regarding to the situation in Romania, the country's total agricultural surface of 14.946 million ha, an area of 6.367 million ha (42.6%), with slopes greater than 5%, is prone to water erosion and other processes associated. Of these, over 900,000 ha are affected by very strong and excessive erosion. The study aims to quantify the soil loss by erosion process and to specify the main factor affecting the erosion development in the study area using geoprocessing techniques and the erosion predictive model Revised U...
