3. Morphotectonics Characteristics and Its Control on Soil Erosion

The influence of the “morphotectonic characteristics” on “erosion potentiality” assessment has been estimated in this chapter. The related parameter has been selected with considering recent literatures related to this field. In this perspective, the “evidential belief function (EBF)”, “logistic regression (LR)” and ensemble of “EBF-LR” have been considered. Here, the efficiency of ensemble model is quite high then any single alone model, i.e. “EBF” and “LR”. The “area under curve (AUC)” values from “receiver operating characteristics (ROC)’ for ensemble of “EBF-LR” are 0.99 and 0.92, respectively. The western and central parts of this region are related with an erosion potential zone that ranges from very high to high. So, the special emphasis regarding the suitable management strategies has to be taken into consideration for this region to overcome this type of situation. This sort of data aids decision-makers in implementing the most appropriate development initiatives in vulnerable areas. The role of future researchers is to quantifying the erosion potentiality with maximum possible accuracy and considering maximum-related parameters.
