48d <br /> Torriothents A mineral soil belonging to the Entisol order which <br /> contains an ochric epipedon and a torric moisture <br /> regime. <br /> Universal Soil An empirically developed formula historically used <br /> Loss Equation to estimate soil loss on agricultural lands. The <br /> erosion hazard, expressed in tons of sail lost per <br /> acre per year, is based on land slope, rainstorm <br /> characteristics, cover, management practices, and <br /> the soil erodibility factor (K) . <br /> Ustic A soil moisture regime that is intermediate between <br /> the aridic and udic regimes and common in semi-arid <br /> regions. A limited amount of moisture is available <br /> for plants but occurs at times when the soil temp- <br /> erature is optinum for plant growth. <br /> wind Erosion An equation used for the design of wind control <br /> Equation systems is E = f(I,R,C,L,V) where E is the average <br /> annual soil loss, expressed in tons per acre per <br /> year, I is the soil erodibility R is the soil <br /> ridge roughness, C is the climate factor; L is the <br /> unsheltered distance across the field along the <br /> wind erosion direction; and V is the vegetative <br />
