Differentiation and regionalization of rainfall erosivity factor values in the Czech Republic

The rain erosivity R-factor is one of the main parameters in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). This paper describes the procedure used to update, differentiate and regionalize the rainfall erosivity R-factor. For the Czech Republic it is recommended to use the average value R = 40.
