Assessing Rainfall Erosivity with Artificial Neural Networks for the Ribeira Valley, Brazil

Soil loss is one of the main causes of pauperization and alteration of agricultural soil properties. Various empirical models (e.g., USLE) are used to predict soil losses from climate variables which in general have to be derived from spatial interpolation of point measurements. Alter...
