Abstract: Comprehensive assessment of soil erosion dynamics in Pakistan for 2005 and 2015 at 1 km² spatial resolution using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model and six influencing factors. Soil erosion maps are categorized into four classes: low, medium, high, and very high, revealing an increase from 1.79 to 2.47 ton ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ on the national level.
