Measuring the Land Use Based Risk of Soil Erosion in a Mining-Dominated landscape in Northern Iran
This study assessed the occurrence risk of soil erosion in a mining-dominated landscape in Qazvin Province, northern Iran using the Land Use Impact Model (LUIM) and MPSIAC model. The LUIM employs two concepts for estimating the soil erosion risk: Likelihood and Consequence. Likelihood was estimated...
