Abstract
A wind‐erosion equation was programmed for computer solution. The relationships among variables are evaluated by the computer, and the general functional relationship between soil loss and independent variables, E = f(I', C', K', L', V), is solved stepwise to give potential average annual soil loss, E, in tons per acre per annum for specified conditions of erodibility, I'; roughness, K'; climatic factor, C'; equivalent field length, L'; and equivalent vegetative cover, V. The computer also can solve the equation to determine field conditions necessary to reduce potential erosion to a tolerable amount and can compare the effectiveness of various combinations of erosioncontrol treatments.
