Evaluation of the EUROSEM model for predicting the effects of erosion-control blankets on runoff and interrill soil erosion by water KU Leuven
The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM, Morgan et al., 1998) is an event-based soil erosion model which predicts runoff and sediment discharge for different environmental conditions. Applying geotextiles or erosion-control blankets (ECB’s) on the soil surface significantly affects surface seal formation and topsoil properties and therefore controls runoff and soil erosion rates during a rainfall event. Since these within-storm changes of soil ...
