Abstract:

Throughout Măhăceni Tableland, actual erosion processes on slopes, show a strong dynamics and they do realise interrelations and self connections, with a high degree of degradation for some specific areas. Surface erosion is quite active and it carries out some damage potential. The present study shows a way for evaluating the proclivity of steep areas, to contemporary slope erosional processes, using the U.S.L.E. model. The purpose is to realise the sheet erosion map for Măhăceni Tableland.
