Tillage Erosion Model

Tillage Erosion Model is a physical transport and modeling pipeline for predicting soil movement and redistribution caused by tillage operations on sloping land. Developed by soil scientists (Lindstrom, Nelson, Lobb) in the 1990s–2000s, this method quantifies how plowing, disking, and other soil-disturbing implements physically move soil downslope, leading to long-term productivity loss on upper slopes and soil accumulation in valleys.
