Brief description
The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) estimates the annual soil loss that is due to erosion using a factor-based approach with rainfall, soil erodibility, slope length, slope steepness and cover management and conservation practices as inputs. The collection is (i) a set of maps that represent the RUSLE factors, (ii) a map of the RUSLE estimates of soil erosion in Australia and (iii) a map of the uncertainty in the estimates of erosion.Lineage
The methods for the creation of these data sets are described in the following publication: Teng H, Viscarra Rossel RA, Shi Z, Behrens T, Chappell A and Bui E 2016 Assimilating satellite imagery and visible-near infrared spectroscopy to model and map soil loss by water erosion in Australia. Environmental Modelling & Software 77: 156-167.
