Impacts of land use changes on soil erosion in Pa Deng sub-district, adjacent area of Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand

Land use changes significantly influence soil erosion risk in Pa Deng sub-district, adjacent to Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand. The study found that smaller land cover areas exhibit higher soil erosion risk compared to larger ones over the 1990-2010 period. Researchers applied remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), and the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to assess these impacts. This approach revealed a clear relationship between land use patterns and soil degradation, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing land cover to mitigate erosion effects.
