Analysis of Soil Erosion Risk in a River Basin – A Case Study from Hogoshti River Basin (Kosovo)

Geological settings, climatic conditions, terrain characteristics especially slope angle and length, climatic condition, land cover and land use, other river system parameters like stream density, bifurcation ratio, stream length, drainage texture etc., are the main factors that contribute to soil e...
