-A '''Wind erosion''' equation or WEQ is an erosion model designed to predict long-term average annual [[soil]] losses from a field having specific characteristics.
+[[You'll have to lock the database permanently to stop me, admins!]]
-The equation is: E = f(IKCLV)
-where E = Estimated average annual soil loss expressed in tons per acre per year
-I = Soil erodibility index
-K = Soil ridge roughness factor
-C = Climatic factor
-L = Equivalent unsheltered distance across the field along the prevailing wind erosion direction
-V = Equivalent vegetative cover
