LEAM, A Land Erodibility Assessment Methodology

Land erodibility assessment in developing countries is often constrained by the lack of a methodology capable of assessing, from limited and often incomplete soils and climatic data, the potential erosion risk of agricultural lands. This book, published in 1991, describes LEAM, A Land Erodibility Assessment Methodology, designed primarily for developing countries. LEAM assesses the potential erosion risk of lands using information contained in soil surveys based on Soil Taxonomy. Assessments of potential erosion risk are based on three land characteristics: (i) slope hazard, (ii) rainfall erosivity, and (iii) intrinsic soil erodibility. The rating framework of LEAM provides basic infomation as whether a given land has a certain potential risk, and describes the agricultural limitations associated with that risk.
