The 5 equivalent variables are obtained by grouping some and converting others of the 11 primary variables now known to govern wind erodibility. Relations among variables are extremely complex. Charts and tables have been developed to permit graphical solutions of the equation. The equation is designed to serve the twofold purpose of providing a tool to (i) determine the potential erosion from a particular field, and (ii) determine what field conditions of soil cloddiness, roughness, vegetative cover, sheltering by barriers, or width and orientation of field are necessary to reduce potential erosion to a tolerable amount. Examples of these applications of the equation are presented. Weaknesses in the equation and areas needing further research are discussed.","claims":[{"public_id":"cl_6e1bc3a7effc8a2a30e77229d8ff06a0","status":"active","text":"Charts and tables have been
