“…During the field work, we noted that only a small portion of the study area (Burara-Medo-Abaro-Wijigira mountain chain and adjacent lands) had highly degraded forest/shrub land compromising the stability of the natural environment. A research project in Cuba reported that conversion from forest to arable land increases soil loss in mountainous watersheds (Schiettecatte et al 2008), which are fragile environments. The tolerable soil loss in such circumstances is no more than 2 t ha −1 yr −1 (Hudson (1981)).…”

“…Erosion modeling techniques allow the assessment of erosion damage to agricultural soil and water resources (Renschler and Harbor 2002), thereby providing useful information for decision making concerning water and soil conservation planning (Schiettecatte et al 2008). The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) proposed by Wischmeier and Smith (1978) is an empirical predictive model for soil erosion that has been integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) worldwide (Lufafa et al 2003;Dabral et al 2008;Wang et al 2009;Jain and Das 2010).…”

“…Essa relação também pode ser denominada de Risco Natural de Erosão -RNE (Basic et al, 2004;Boellstorff & Benito, 2005;Schiettecatte et al, 2008;Oliveira et al, 2011). Assim, o índice RNE é utilizado como critério de elegibilidade para aplicação do programa de serviços ambientais (CRP).…”
