Water erosion potential of soils in Alberta : estimates using a modified USLE

Description

Soil erosion has been long been recognized as a potential problem in Alberta. Prior to this study, focus had been mainly on soil erosion caused by wind. This study looks at water erosion in Alberta, and investigates the use of Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) as a method for assessing water erosion. This report describes the adaptation of USLE factors to Alberta conditions. A major modification was made to the precipitation component to recognize the contribution of spring snow melt.
