R factor
- RUSLE computes a correction to R to reflect the effect of raindrop impact for flat slopes striking water ponded on the surface.
K factor
- Adjusted to account for seasonal changes such as freezing and thawing, soil moisture, and soil consolidation.
- USLE was based on soil texture, organic-matter content, permeability, and other factors inherent to soil type.
LS factor
- Refines USLE by assigning new calculations based on the ratio of rill to interrill erosion, and accommodates complex slopes.
