where: A is the average annual soil loss (t ha−1 yr−1
), R is the average
annual rainfall erosivity (MJ mm ha−1 h−1 yr−1
), K is the soil erodibility
factor (t h MJ−1 mm−1
), LS corresponds to the dimensionless factors associated
with slope-length and slope-steepness, respectively, C and P
are factors of vegetation cover and soil conservation practices, both
dimensionless
