A method for estimating the erodibility (K) factor for the Revised Universal Soil Loss
Equation with particular application to aggregated clay soils is reviewed. Based on the …

This paper reports a comparison of several methods for estimating the K (erodibility) factor
for the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) on the basis of laboratory measurements of soil …

This paper reports calculated soil erodibility (Km) values for the universal soil loss equation
(USLE) for a range of surface soils, and for some subsoils. The calculation of erodibility …

The efficiency of erodibility indices in predicting soil loss from English and Canadian soils is
tested. Simple measures of aggregate stability are shown to be more effective than more …

The development and use of indices of soil erodibility during the past thirty years are
reviewed. The ambiguous record of some of the indices is noted, and a theoretical …

A new soil particle-size parameter was used to derive a convenient erodibility equation that
is valid for exposed subsoils as well as farmland. A simple nomograph provides quick …

The nomograph by Wischmeier et al.(1971) for calculating the K-factor in the USLE was
extremely useful when there was low access to calculators. However, the generalised …

Soil erosion rates on six high clay subsoils were measured during a series of simulated
rainstorms. Soil erodibility factors computed for both tilled and scalped surface conditions …

The erodibility of a soil is a quantitative measure of its susceptibility to erosion. According to
the recent CREAMS document (Knisel, 1980), the quality of the estimate for a soil erodibility …

Wischmeier's soil erodibility factor K calculated for 10 surface soils in the Hornos area, S.
Spain, is compared with 3 aspects of aggregate stability. A significant correlation is found …
