EVALUASI DAN PERBANDINGAN METODE PREDIKSI EROSI TANAH: USLE, RUSLE, MUSLE, KONSEP NILAI EROSI TOLERANSI, SERTA PENGUKURAN PADA TINGKAT PETAK DAN WATERSHED
Keywords:
USLE, RUSLE, MUSLE, nilai erosi toleransi, skala DASAbstract
Prediksi erosi tanah merupakan komponen kunci dalam perencanaan konservasi lahan, dengan keluarga model Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) menjadi yang paling luas digunakan secara global. Kajian literatur sistematis ini mengevaluasi dan membandingkan performa tiga varian utama—USLE, RUSLE, dan MUSLE—serta mengkaji integrasinya dengan konsep nilai erosi toleransi (T) dan pengaruh skala pengukuran (petak vs watershed). Melalui sintesis terhadap 25 artikel yang diseleksi dari database bereputasi, ditemukan bahwa RUSLE menawarkan akurasi lebih tinggi pada skala petak berkat faktor-faktor yang lebih rinci, sementara MUSLE lebih unggul untuk prediksi erosi berbasis peristiwa dan skala DAS karena mengintegrasikan limpasan permukaan. Konsep nilai T menjadi tolok ukur penting untuk menilai keberlanjutan lahan, namun seringkali terlampaui pada lahan pertanian konvensional. Perbedaan signifikan antara pengukuran di petak dan watershed menegaskan peran sediment delivery ratio dan proses geomorfologi yang bergantung skala. Temuan ini menekankan perlunya pendekatan hibrida dan validasi multi-skala untuk meningkatkan keandalan prediksi erosi di masa depan.
