The estimation of erosion and sediment delivery rates in tropical mountain watersheds is dicult and most of the methods widely used for estimating soil erosion over large areas have serious limitations. The 137 Cs approach has potential for quantifying soil erosion because it can provide retrospecti
## Abstract Understanding the erosion and deposition rates is very important for designing soil and water conservation measures. However, existing methods of assessing the rates of soil loss present many limitations and are difficult to apply to in karst areas, and there is still very little data i
