Abstract

This study aimed to determine the soil erosion risk in agricultural areas of Barak Plain (Gaziantep). The magnitude of soil erosion risk was investigated by the application of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and Geographic Information Systems and results were displayed as erosion risk maps. From the research area, 14 stations were determined. Soil erosion risk and several physicochemical properties of soils were investigated. The results showed a high erodibility factor and at the same time a very low content of organic matter in the soils of the studied area. This study indicated the necessity of taking more efficient precautions against erosion urgently
