“…Regarding specific soil classes, a comparison with erodibility values from other studies that estimated soil erodibility directly (i.e., using soil loss measurements from unit plots under natural or simulated rainfall) in contrasting regions of Brazil is presented in Figure . Among these, best agreement is observed for the RYA class (Red–Yellow Ultisol; de Sá, Curi, Massaroto, & de JJG, ; Eduardo, Carvalho, Machado, Soares, & Almeida, ; Marques, Curi, Ferreira, et al, ; Marques, Curi, Lima, et al, ), which is the dominant soil in the sub‐basin (40.8% of the area) with a KED median value of 2.20 (10 2 t h MJ −1 mm −1 ). In contrast, HaC (Ochrept; Silva, Silva, Curi, Avanzi, & Ferreira, ), HuC (Inceptisol; Bertol, Schick, Batistela, Leite, & Amaral, ), and LN (Udorthent; Margolis, Silva, & Jaques, ; Silva, Andrade, & Campos Filho, ) show deviance from their correspondent KED median values (HaC = 2.40, HuC = 2.15, and LN = 1.94).…”
