Prediction of soil erodibility factor for Peninsular Malaysia soil series using ANN
Soil erodibility factor (susceptibility of soil to be lost to erosion) is one of the components of the universal soil loss equation. This study presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model using 74 soil series provided by the Department of Agriculture, Malaysia. The ANN model produces acceptable results: the K values for 74 soil series of Peninsular Malaysia give much better information to engineers in determining the soil loss and sediment yield for a given development area.
