The researchers assessed soil erodability in Eastern Romania using the RUSLE2 methodology. They found that most soils in the area have low erodability, with values ranging from 0.01 to 0.03. The distribution of erodability values was influenced by soil texture, with clayey soils having higher erodability than sandy soils. Their estimated values were lower than those from another model, which overestimated soil erosion and sediment yields. The researchers' findings were consistent with actual soil erosion and sediment yield data in the study area.
