Methodology of C factor verification in conditions of the Czech Republic
Original language description
Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a widely used tool for the assessment of soil erosion in the Czech Republic as well as in many other countries. C factor is one of the six factors composing USLE. This factor represents vegetation cover and management on agricultural land. The value of C factor was first published in the Czech Republic in 1984 and since then has never been revised. The values were taken from a USA catalog and it is uncertain how our conditions were verified. But in fact the C factor is very dependent on the technologies or climates in that particular country. The Department of Irrigation, Drainage and Landscape Engineering has dealt with the protection of soil and water for many years. The Department acquired a mobile rainfall simulator to quickly obtain a larger set of data. Parameters of the instrument and methodology of determination of individual C factor values using the mobile rainfall simulator are subject to contribution.
