Assessment of Soil Erosion Impacts at the Panchhari Sub-district of Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques Based on RUSLE Model
Abstract: Soil erosion has been identified as a significant issue around the world. It is often exacerbated due to land deterioration, conversion of agricultural land, and other anthropogenic activities. It negatively impacts soil productivity, water quality deterioration, river and reservoir bed sedimentation, nutrient loss, and sustainability of natural resources. Understanding the controlling factors of soil erosion can help us to identify erosion-prone areas and improve land use management. The novelty of …

Spatiotemporal Modeling of Soil Erosion Under Agricultural Expansion in the Amravati Basin, India Using RUSLE–GIS
Abstract: Agricultural expansion and soil erosion are important environmental issues in areas where agriculture is a major source of livelihood. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal patterns of soil erosion in the Amravati Basin of Maharashtra and evaluates the impact of agricultural expansion using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Multi-source data, such as satellite imagery, rainfall records, soil characteristics, and topography …

Estimation of Soil Erosion Using GIS in Pune District, Maharashtra
Abstract: The Varandha Ghats pans approximately 14.62 km 2 , where changes in temperature, vegetation, topography, and soil characteristics are causing continuous soil erosion. Catchment heterogeneity and climatic variations cause spatial variability in hydrological processes. Differences in land use, soil type, topography, and rainfall patterns influence how water moves and accumulates across regions, resulting in diverse hydrological responses. This complexity challenges accurate modeling and effective water resource management strategies across variable …
