o:2886 Soil erosion assessment using EPM: a case study in the catchment area of the Turkish brook, Western ESerbia en Soil erosion involves detachment and transport of soil particles from the upper parts of a slope and their deposition at its lower parts. Erosion causes soil degradation and reduces soil productivity. Soil eroded from the upland catchment causes depletion of fertile agricultural soil and the resulting sediment deposited at the river networks creates river morphological change and reservoir sedimentation problems. As regards the initiation of the wearing away of soil particles from the catchment slope, EPM - Erosion Potential Method were used to quantify soil erosion. The aim of this study was to evaluate erosion factors in the catchment area of the Turkish brook, classified as a dry valley and a smaller torrent. The annual erosion intensity is 94.33 m3 km-2 of soil. Based on natural and anthropogenic factors, the Turkish brook catchment area belongs to erosion category IV, weak intensity, mixed type, with the erosion coefficient of 0.25.
