Spatial Simulation of The Organic Carbon Content and its Effects on the Erodibility and Soil Erosion with Universal Soil Loss Equation and Geographic Information Systems

Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Geographical Information Systems are two spatial soil erosion analysis models because both have a spatial context. As an important factor, soil erodibility is crucial in determining soil erosion, with C-organic significantly influencing the K value. The main a...

description Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Geographical Information Systems are two spatial soil erosion analysis models because both have a spatial context. As an important factor, soil erodibility is crucial in determining soil erosion, with C-organic significantly influencing the K value. The main aim of this study is to characterize soil erodibility and soil loss based on spatial simulation of the effects of soil C-organic in a GIS environment. Research findings indicated that by simulating within a GIS environment, C-organic can affect soil erodibility and erosion. Low C-organic levels can increase soil erodibility, while high C-organic levels can decrease it. A reduction in C-organic by 10%, 20%, and 30% will increase K by 1.10%, 1.17%, and 1.21%, respectively. Conversely, adding 10%, 20%, and 30% C-organic will decrease K by 1.12%, 1.27%, and 1.46%, respectively. A 10%, 20%, and 30% increase in C-organic can reduce soil loss by 1.2%, 1.3%, and 1.5%, while a reduction in C-organic will increase soil loss by 1.1%, 1.2%, and 1.3%, respectively. A low K value indicates slight erosion, while a high K value suggests high erosion. Continuous C-organic and properly managing vegetation are necessary to maintain and improve soil quality.
