Abstract

The 19th Global Symposium on Soil Erosion was held in FAO Headquarter, Rome, May 15-17, 2019. One of the symposium themes was soil erosion assessment tools and data; creation, consolidation, and harmonization, which assume to be most controversial among soil sciences in terms of applicability and reliability of resultant data. The most known soil erosion assessment tools around the world are the direct assessment of water erosion in the field, remote sensing, experimental plots, rainfall simulators, and fallout radionuclides (FRN) [1]. Application and standards of each method have been modified and improved since the last decades, Besides, the scale of application and reliability of such methods remain controversial between researchers and users of results. Accordingly, the advantages and disadvantages of soil erosion assessment tools have been proved for users that resulted in their application on the basis of the research aims and scale of studies [2].
