Measuring soil erodibility in the field and its effects on soil-protecting crop rotation
2002
Centeri, Cs.
Rainfall simulator experiments were set up in Balatonszabadi on chernozem soil. The soil erodibility factor (K factor) was concluded based on the soil loss data from rainfall simulation and the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The C factor of the USLE model describes the effects of land cover such as cities, rivers, lakes, forests, pastures/meadows, orchards, arable lands and others. On arable lands the estimated soil loss is highly dependent on C factors. The present goal is to highlight the effects of local soil erodibility experiments on the number of crops that can be chosen for sustainable land use.
