Soil erosion by water is a type of physical degradation of the soil that is causing significant losses of topsoil worldwide. The susceptibility of the specific area to water erosion can be assessed by taking into account the effect of the specific erosion factors such as rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, properties of the topography (mainly slope length and gradient), vegetation cover and erosion control practices. It is obvious that not all factors can be controlled by human to the same extent. This contribut...
