This study evaluated the USLE model in estimating water erosion in an Alfisol located in the town San Pedro, Chile's Metropolitan Region, with the use of erosivity values (R) obtained by approximating Arnoldus (IFM) and equations proposed by the Institute for the Conservation of Nature (ICONA) in Spain, adapted to the conditions of Chile. For the assessment of soil loss were used sediment data for each rainfall event during the period 1996-2000, ...
