ABSTRACT
The effect of percent slopes on the erosion coefficient of Umingan, Maasin and Malitbog clays was found to be highly significant. For all the soil types, erosion coefficient had a positive relationship with the slope. Third degree polynomial equations described the slope-erosion coefficient relationship for Umingan and Malitbog clays, and quadratic equation for Maasin clay.
Umingon clay had the highest erosion coefficient at all slope levels, i.e. from 2.5 to 50% at an increment of 2.5%, while Malitbog clay had a higher coefficient than Maasin clay only at slope >17%.
Keywords: Erosion coefficient.
