    • RUSLE2 Upland Erosion and Sediment Delivery to Stream Data Table for Difficult Run, Virginia

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    This table contains estimates for upland sediment erosion and delivery to the stream estimated using a modified Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2 (RUSLE2) approach (USDA-ARS, 2013). Upland erosion (Eu) was calculated as the sum of the product of the erosivity factor (Rm) estimated for each month, the soil erodibility factor (K), the length-slope factor (LS), C-factor (Cm) for each month, farming support practices (P) assumed to be 1, and the area of each land cover grouping in acres. Rasters with 10-m resolution were created for these five variables in the modified RUSLE2 equation to create an upland erosion (Eu) raster for the study area. Data were calculated for each National Hydrography (NHD) Dataset Version 1 catchment in the Difficult Run watershed.
