Detailed Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Variability of Rainfall Erosivity and Erosivity Density in the Central and Southern Pannonian Basin
Estimation of rainfall erosivity (RE) and erosivity density (ED) is essential for understanding the complex relationships between hydrological and soil erosion processes. The main objective of this study is to assess the spatial–temporal trends and variability of the RE and ED in the central and sou...
