Abstract

This paper studies the estimated losses of soil by water erosion in the municipality of Nis (Serbia). The assessment of losses is determined by USLE method integrated with GIS technology, which provides a simple and fast processing capabilities and data analysis. This study showed that the average intensity of erosion in the municipality of Nis is 8.48 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, which puts the municipality in the class of moderately threatened by erosion. The applied methods provide easy determination of sites which are potentially exposed to erosion and provide a starting point for erosion conservation practices. The paper presents the possibility of displaying the final results via interactive map using WebGIS technology, which provides a visual representation of the geometric and attribute data stored within spatially oriented databases.
