ble combinations, show some disparities. However, future soil erosion rates are
expected to increase due to increased precipitation and rainfall erosivity. This has
been confirmed in other prediction studies (e.g., Amanambu et al. (2019); Gafforov
et al. (2020); Gupta and Kumar (2017); Litschert et al. (2014); Plangoen et al.
(2013)) which demonstrate that soil erosion rates will be significantly impacted by
