Erosion prediction models help estimate soil loss rates and evaluate conservation practices. They use climate, soil, topographic, and land use data to quantify erosion severity and guide sustainable land management decisions.
These models have limitations, simplifying complex processes and facing data constraints. However, they remain valuable tools for identifying high-risk areas and optimizing resource allocation in erosion control efforts.
