The principal objective of this investigation was to quantify erosion rates for five agricultural fields in three separate study areas in Saskatchewan. The radionuclide tracer caesium-137 (137Cs) was used to quantify net erosion and net deposition within the landscape over a 30-year period. Uneroded
## Abstract The caesiumβ137 method of quantifying soil erosion is used to provide field data for validating the capability of the SHETRAN modelling system for predicting longβterm (30βyear) erosion rates and their spatial variability. Simulations were carried out for two arable farm sites (area 3β5
