This study aims to evaluate and compare different methods for estimating soil erosion in an olive orchard.
Utilized field-based runoff plots for direct sediment yield measurements.
Applied LiDAR surveys for soil surface change detection via Difference of Digital Elevation Models (DoD).
Implemented Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) using site-specific parameters.
Field measurements and RUSLE estimates show broad consistency, particularly with model calibration (empirical data).
LiDAR-DoD analysis reveals distinct patterns of soil surface displacement across the orchard.
Integration of methods demonstrates the advantages and limitations of each in assessing soil erosion.
