| Description | The extent of the soil erosion problem in South Africa as well as the various models which have been used in other parts of the world to quantify the problem are mentioned. It is indicated that these models are not designed to determine the potential danger of erosion. The model suggested in this study can be used to determine the potential danger of erosion in any area using only four variables, viz, erosivity, gradient, soil erodibility and plant cover. Die omvang van die probleem van gronderosie in Suid-Afrika word kortliks bespreek en verskeie modelle wat reeds in ander lande gebruik is om die probleem te kwantifiseer, word aangehaal. Daar word aangedui dat die potensiële erosiegevaar nie in hierdie studies aangespreek word nie. Die model wat in die huidige studie gebruik word om die potensiële erosiegevaar vir die Tugelarivieropvanggebied te kwantifiseer, is gebaseer op vier veranderlikes, naamlik erositeit, gradiënt, gronderodeerbaarheid en plantegroeibedekking. | |
