This presentation introduces a more realistic approach for soil erosion prediction in complex landscapes. Implemented in a computer model, this approach predicts soil detachment, transport, and deposition for events that occur on actual farm fields, estimating soil erosion in the rill and interrill on a 2-D grid network, works with high temporal resolution to resolve changing conditions during rainfall events, and responds to a wide range of agricultural practices and soil properties by building on existing knowledge. Model predictions are compared with two years of field measurements in different sites in Wisconsin.
