Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a formula used to predict soil erosion caused by rainfall and surface runoff. It estimates the amount of soil lost from an area based on five key factors: rainfall intensity, soil type, slope of the land, crop cover, and farming practices. By analyzing these factors, the USLE helps farmers, land managers, and environmentalists understand erosion risks and develop strategies to protect soil health, maintain agricultural productivity, and prevent environmental degradation. It's an important tool for sustainable land management.
