Determining Rainfall Erosivity in Costa Rica: A Practical Approach
Rainfall erosivity (R-factor) is an important variable used in soil erosion estimation models. In Costa Rica, the R-factor was computed for 106 stations across the country by Wilhelm- Gu¨nther Vahrson in 1990. These results provided the main input information for this study, which used them to estim...
