Paper Summary

The article discusses how combining soil erosion and sediment yield models with GIS technology is becoming more popular. It explores various widely used GIS-based erosion models like RUSLE and WEPP, as well as newer models in China. The study identifies current issues in these models and predicts that future research will focus on models that can show how soil erosion and sediment are distributed across a space.
