Development of a virtual tool for the quantication and the analysis of soil erosion in olive orchards based on RUSLE

Abstract

Comunicación presentada en la European Geosciences Union General Assembly, celebrada en Viena del 7 al 12 de abril de 2013.Erosion rates above 30 t ha-1 yr-1 have been measured in hilly agricultural regions such as Andalusia in Southern Spain, associated to orchard crops (Gómez et al., 2008). In this region, there are 1.48 Mha of olive groves (CAP, 2007), which are essential in terms of income, employment and landscape. The acquisition of training and experience in modelling soil erosion is difficult by the conventional system teaching for students as well as specific technicians.Peer Reviewe
