The spatial distribution of soils across : A fractal …

The geographical extent of each particular type was mathematically idealized as a two-dimensional flat surface. The digital map of was overlaid with grid layers of different linear sizes (20, 40, 80, 160, 200, 800, 1600 and 2000 km), providing three orders of magnitude—i.e. from 2 × 10 1 up to 2 × 10 3.

Identification of Resources Problems Russia

Such runoff and rainfall events with 10–20 years return period produce 70–80% of the total long-term sheet and rill erosion. The erosion rates for the Russia were calculated on 1980 and on 2012. The Universal Loss Equation (Wischmeier and Smith 1978) was used to calculate loss from rainfall.
