When travelling across a natural and especially agricultural landscape, soil erosion is visible, at field or hillslope scale, especially after an intense rainfall event, so it can be argued that soil erosion might be a problem in that area.

Abstract

When travelling across a natural and especially agricultural landscape, soil erosion is visible, at field or hillslope scale, especially after an intense rainfall event, so it can be argued that soil erosion might be a problem in that area. However a reliable quantification of erosion rates is relevant to assess the necessity or effectiveness of soil conservation measures to manage the soil erosion problem.
