This research aimed to understand and predict soil erosion in equatorial regions caused by heavy rainfall. By studying rainfall patterns and soil properties, researchers developed a new method to estimate soil loss. Key components of this method include the Equatorial Rainfall Erosivity Factor, Equatorial Slope Length Factor, and the resulting Equatorial Soil Loss Equation. This research provides valuable insights for environmental protection, land management, and conservation efforts in regions prone to heavy rainfall.
