EUROPEAN SOIL EROSION MODEL
Release 2010
(a freeware software for scientific community)
What
is
EUROSEM-2010
The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) is a dynamic distributed model, able to simulate sediment transport, erosion and deposition by rill and interill processes in single storms for both individual fields and small catchments.
Model output includes total runoff, total soil loss, the storm hydrograph and storm sediment graph.
EUROSEM describes the terrain using cascading planes and channels, is distributed and physically based. Its hydraulics, despite being limited to hortonian overland flows, is based on good mathematics and numerical approximations.
EUROSEM has been developed with Financial support of European commission research founds in the period 1986-2010) with the contribution of many European soil scientists (see EUROSEM history for credits and the developement steps of EUROSEM).
EUROSEM-2010 research effort follows the objectives were set as requirements for an European soil erosion model (Chisci and Morgan, 1988).
It should:
(1) enable the risk of erosion to be assessed;
(2) be applicable to fields and small catchments;
(3) operate on an event basis;
(4) be useful as a tool for selecting soil protection measures.

EUROSEM 2010-2001x NEXT
STEPS
EUROSEM is still alive..and future efforts and contribution form soil scientis are expected..
The next steps in EUROSEM-201x future version are:
EUROSEM is still alive..and future efforts and contribution form soil scientis are expected..
The next steps in EUROSEM-201x future version are:
- Inclusion of the multilayer vegetation description into the model
- Inclusion of some recent (Govers, 1992, Gimenez et al. 2004, Torri and Borselli, 2002; Torri et al., 2006,2009) and less recent (Savat, 1978) research results which will affect flow velocity, erosion and deposition processes
- Development of a series of algorithms for input data estimation and self-consistency evaluation
- Completion of documentation in a single User Manual.
- Raster based description of the catchment (as an alternative to the plane and segment representation)
- Integration of EuroSEM with Flow Connectivity
