Use of cesium-137 as a radiotracer in the quantification of tropical soil erosion

Use of cesium-137 as a radiotracer in the quantification of tropical soil erosion

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the app!icability of this technique to quantify the soil erosion in the tropical region. With this purpose the technique was applied in the tropical soils belonging to a glide parcel, in Cienfuegos province, in Cuba, in the Caribbean area. This allow...
