Opis (eng)

Soil erosion is one of the highly significant forms of the soil degradation in Serbia. In this sense, this paper may help consider better the erosion process exhibited to a greater or lesser extent on all the soil types with a slope more than 1%, which denotes to the necessity of taking anti-erosion measures towards protecting the soil as a nonrenewable natural resource. Due to a range of natural factors and human impact on the erosion process in the part of the Western Serbia as well as based on the overall condition of the torrent catchment Tomʼs Brook, the soil loss due to erosion could be predicted through Erosion Potential Model (EPM). As regards the torrential flow type, Tomʼs Brook is a landslide (E), with annual mean amount of erosion drift (Wyear) from 539.11 m3 year–1. The specific annual amount of total erosion deposit (Gyear sp–1) reaching the confluence point of Tomʼs Brook from the right-hand side into the river Tinja (the left tributary of the river Kamenica within the Western Morava basin in the Western Serbia) amounted to 120.92 m3 km–2 year–1.
