Comparison of the Effects of the Different Methods for Computing the Slope Length Factor at a Watershed Scale

The slope length factor is one of the parameters of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and is sometimes calculated based on a digital elevation model (DEM). The methods for calculating the slope length factor are important because the values...
