The USLE application provides erosion rates on a 25 m cell
basis for the forested area of the 28 European countries (ca.
2.1 billion cells) (Fig. 3). The predicted annual gross soil loss average 14.74 × 106 Mg yr−1, with an average area-specific soil loss
of 0.11 Mg ha−1 yr−1 ( 0.344 Mg ha−1 yr−1).
