Soil erosion from agricultural land in the Lake Simcoe-Couchiching Basin, 1800-1981.
Wilson, JP
CAN. J. SOIL SCI./REV. CAN. SCI. SOL. Vol. 69, no. 1, pp. 137-151. 1989.

Soil losses from agricultural land in the Lake Simcoe-Couchiching Basin between 1800 and 1981 are estimated with the universal soil loss equation (USLE). Existing methods and data are used to estimate and combine the six USLE factors with one exception. A new method that is consistent with the USLE slope definitions was developed and used to estimate the topographic factor. The results of the present study add to earlier erosion assessments because they describe the erosion hazard throughout the basin from the first days of forest clearance and agricultural settlement to the present.
