Mapping the Risk of Water Soil Erosion in Larrodrigo (Salamanca, Spain) Using the RUSLE Model and A-DInSAR Technique

The quantification of soil loss are studies driven by the importance of soil as a resource and are mainly due to risks of laminar and/or runoff water erosion. These problems directly affect the daily life of the population and serve as predictors of environmental effects. In this work, the quantific...

description The quantification of soil loss are studies driven by the importance of soil as a resource and are mainly due to risks of laminar and/or runoff water erosion.
