Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems. In the case of small scale areas where soil properties and
climate have relatively uniform characteristics, vegetation cover and topography (i.e. ground slope) are the main factors
that affect the amount of soil erosion. Lack of vegetation cover on bare soil areas, including forest r...
