In this paper, we review the erosivity studies conducted in Brazil to verify the quality and
representativeness of the results generated and to provide a greater understanding of the …

Research to measure soil erosion rates in the United States from natural rainfall runoff plots
began in the early 1900′s. In Brazil, the first experimental study at the plot-scale was …

The exposure of the Earth’s surface to the energetic input of rainfall is one of the key factors
controlling water erosion. While water erosion is identified as the most serious cause of soil …

Land cover, an important factor for monitoring changes in land use and erosion risk, has been
widely monitored and evaluated by vegetation indices. However, a study that associates …

We assess the water balance of the Brazilian Cerrado based on remotely sensed estimates
of precipitation (TRMM), evapotranspiration (MOD16), and terrestrial water storage (GRACE) …

Based on “user pays” and “provider gets” principles, the Payment for Environmental Services
(PES) consists of providing economic incentives or compensation for land users who adopt …

… the USLE-R factor regression equations used in this study are discussed in Oliveira et al. .
… André Almagro and Paulo TS Oliveira designed the study, carried out data acquisition and …

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE)'s cover and management factor (C-factor)
is one of the most difficult factors to obtain, mainly because long-term monitoring soil …

The Brazilian savanna (cerrado) is a large and important economic and environmental region
that is experiencing significant loss of its natural landscapes due to pressures of food and …

Deforestation of the Brazilian cerrado region has caused major changes in hydrological
processes. These changes in water balance components are still poorly understood but are …
