This study presents an ecological assessment of rain-induced soil erosion on a southern-exposed slope within the Federal Agricultural Kursk Research Center's field experiment (Medvensky district, Kursk region). The research focused on slightly eroded, medium-moist, medium loamy typical chernozem (Chernozems halpic) soil developed on loess-like loams. Soil loss quantification employed a laboratory-field sprinkler system and runoff area sprinkling method, simulating a 9% increase in rain intensity over 30 minutes. Results showed an average steady-state absorption intensity of 0.58±0.02 mm/min, with soil erosion exceeding allowable loss rates after 8 minutes of rainfall. Cumulative soil washout reached 16 t/ha, surpassing permissible erosion norms by 8-fold. The study recommends developing a digital elevation model to calculate runoff line lengths and slopes, enabling the creation of a potential soil washout map for rainfall events exceeding permissible erosion loss norms. These findings provide valuable insights for soil conservation strategies in the region.
