The port of Tangier Med is essential due to its strategic location, as it an important trading center linking Europe, North America, and Africa. However, the increased rates downstream sediment transportation put pressure on sustainable future port. Thus, assessing existing erosion improvement scenarios imperative for planning management at catchment level. We utilize Erosion Potential Model (EPM) combined with Intensity Outflow (IntErO) algorithm assess outflow intensity distinguish sediment-producing areas in R’mel watershed. port’s proximity bottom slope opposite Dam relevant this context. Initial results show average rate 13 t/ha/year. Quarry operations were identified primary source, indicated by factors contributing erosion. qualitative PAP/RAC (Priority Actions Program/Regional Activity Center) model was used development trends watershed, confirming a clear tendency toward irreversible degradation quarry areas. Considering that mined carbonate lithology represents 23.77% total area catchment, situation region could deteriorate if continue. simulation rehabilitation through land use cover change (LULC) IntErO shows reforestation quarries can significantly reduce (4.78 t/ha/year) compared their conversion agricultural land.

Soil erosion is expected to increase in the future due climate change. models are useful tools that can be used by decision makers and other stakeholders deal with soil problems or implementation of protection measures. Most modelling applications using Universal Loss Equation (USLE)-type models. In this study, we evaluate applicability Erosion Potential Model (EPM) its modified version (mEPM) for estimation gross net rates at a global scale. The sensitivity analysis shows model results have highest variability (land cover) coefficient followed erodibility parameter. models' evaluations indicate EPM cannot applied cold regions while mEPM overcomes issue. based on were 1.5–2.5 times larger than ones obtained from mEPM.

The complex environmental process of soil erosion is crucial to sustainable land management and conservation. This study uses the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model understand intricate interactions that cause in Cluj County, Romania, a region susceptible landslide phenomenon. established analysis depicts patterns from localised hotspots regions relative stability, providing valuable insights into this critical issue. Spatial distribution maps with color-coded gradients show risk identify vulnerable regions, temporal investigations depicting how changes affect erosion, making it relevant conservation management. A careful USLE model's parameters (Ls, Cs, C, S, K) shows their contributions. rates were graded five classes accordance general practices modelling, which range very-low, low, moderate, high very-high susceptibility erosion. While significant majority county’s surface represented by very-low low risk, several identified intense processes highlights need implement measures area.
