| − | A '''Wind erosion''' equation or WEQ is an erosion model designed to predict long-term average annual [[soil]] losses from a field having specific characteristics.
| + | [[Conservapedia will be drowned in vandalism. No doubt about it, you can't stop us!]] |
| − | The equation is: E = f(IKCLV)
| |
| − | where E = Estimated average annual soil loss expressed in tons per acre per year
| |
| − | I = Soil erodibility index
| |
| − | K = Soil ridge roughness factor
| |
| − | C = Climatic factor
| |
| − | L = Equivalent unsheltered distance across the field along the prevailing wind erosion direction
| |
| − | V = Equivalent vegetative cover
