Longitudinal analysis of soil erosion dynamics using the RUSLE model in Ethiopia’s Lake Ziway watershed: implications for agricultural sustainability and food security by Degfie Teku, Melak Desta Workie

“…Despite its significance, limited longitudinal studies have systematically analyzed soil erosion dynamics in this region or identified critical intervention areas.MethodsThis study employs the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model integrated with remote sensing and GIS techniques to perform a 30-year longitudinal analysis (1993–2023).ResultsThe analysis highlights spatial and temporal trends in both potential and modeled actual soil erosion rates, revealing substantial but fluctuating losses over the study period. …”
