The historical Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is often adopted to predict
Answer: A
The USLE predicts Annual soil loss in tonnes/ha.
The Universal Soil Loss Equation, developed by Wischmeier and Smith, estimates the long-term average annual loss of soil from sheet and rill erosion:
\[ A = R \times K \times L \times S \times C \times P \]
Here A is the soil loss in tonnes per hectare per year, R the rainfall erosivity, K the soil erodibility, L and S the slope length and steepness, C the cover-management factor and P the support-practice factor.
It is not designed for single storms; event-based estimates need its modification, the MUSLE. It does not produce a sedimentograph (sediment flow over time) or a land degradation index.
