Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o

f erosion that occurs on a piece of agricultural land. Explain what would make each factor's value be very high or low, and how each factor contributes to erosion.

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

CHK2, p53, p21, cell cycle progression.

Explanation:

In a normal cell with no LFS mutation, during the G1 stage of cell cycle progression, the CHK2 activates if there is damage in the DNA. CHK2 activates p53, which is a tumor suppressor protein that will hold the cell cycle in G1/S until the DNA is repaired. The p53 protein activates p21, a protein that binds to CDK2 and stops the cell cycle. The cell cycle will continue once the damage is repaired.

What is the most important abiotic factor in any ecosystem
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The most important abiotic factors include water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature. Water (H2O) is a very important abiotic factor – it is often said that “water is life.” All living organisms need water.

Why would it be easier for a doctor to tell that someone has a viral infection when the virus is in the
Mashutka [201]

Answer: doctor may be able to determine the cause by listening to your medical history and doing a physical exam. If necessary, they also can order a blood or urine test to help confirm a diagnosis, or a "culture test" of tissue to identify bacteria or viruses.

Which taste receptor are most concentrate at the back of the tongue
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Sour receptors occur primarily along the sides of the tongue and are stimulated mainly by acids. Salt receptors are most common in the tip and upper front portion of the tongue. They are stimulated mainly by inorganic salts. Bitter receptors are located toward the back of the tongue

hopefully this helps but i could be really wrong lol
