 "description": "<div style='text-align:Left;font-size:12pt'><p><span>The RUSLE is based on four primary sub-factors, accounting for rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, topography, and land cover. Additional factors can also be applied to model sediment conservation practices, and the RUSLE allows for factors to be manipulated to test scenarios such as land use change or climate change. While the RUSLE is widely used to represent catchment sediment loads, it specifically models surficial erosion (sheet, rill, and inter-rill processes) and does not explicitly account for sediment loads associated with streambank erosion or mass-movement processes such as gullying or landsliding. <\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><p><span>To estimate the proportion of the modelled RUSLE sediment load delivered to streams, we have developed a spatial sediment delivery ratio (SDR) model based on the Index of Connectivity (IC) approach.<\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><p><span>For a description of model inputs, assumptions, and limitations, see the technical memo 'Banks Peninsula Erosion Risk Mapping' (Easton, 2025).<\/span><\/p><\/div>",
