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].
