Paper Summary

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was developed to help conservationists assess soil erosion risks and plan effective control measures. The equation was created using data from research stations and federal units across the country. It has been a valuable tool for evaluating soil erosion hazards and implementing conservation programs.
