Citation: Foster, G.R., Toy, T., Renard, K.G. 2003. Comparison of the usle, rusle1.06c, and rusle2 for application to highly disturbed lands. Proceedings First Interagency Conference on Research in the Watersheds. Oct. 27-30, 2003, Benson, AZ., pp. 154-160.

Interpretive Summary: RUSLE1.06c and RUSLE2, recently released erosion prediction models, are described. These land-use independent models are well suited for application to highly disturbed land. Cover-management subfactors make possible the land-use independence. Similarities and differences with the USLE are discussed.
