The RUSLE equation is defined as follows:
A ¼ R K L S C P ð1Þ
where A is the average soil loss (t ha−1 yr−1 ); R is the rainfall erosivity factor (MJ mm ha−1 h−1 yr−1 ); K is the soil erodibility factor (t ha h ha−1 MJ−1 mm−1 ); L is the slope length factor; S is the slope practice factor. Factors C and P are dimensionless. 2.3
