I mean, the first author or authors that introduce this model?
Thanks
Dear Dawood,
Here is the history of the model:
G2 model has three modules: G2los (for soil loss), G2sed (for sediment yield) and G2met (for heavy metals).
G2 model is a new model for erosion, resulting from the cooperation of the Joint Research Centre/SOIL project and the Lab of Forest Management and Remote Sensing, School of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Environment of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in the framework of geoland2 project.
The model inherits the experience of R-USLE and EPM and has been developed and revised through five consecutive case studies, with a steady view to serve as an effective decision-making tool based on harmonized datasets and procedures. Indicative examples of harmonized and ready-to-use geospatial datasets, which at the same time meet the requirements of G2, include Rainfall Erosivity Database at European Scale (REDES), Global Rainfall Erosivity Database (GloReDa), Copernicus vegetation layer FCover, CORINE Land Cover, Copernicus High Resolution Layer HRL-Imperviousness, LUCAS topsoil, ASTER-GDEM, EU-DEM, Sentinel 2 imagery, etc.
It was introduced in 2010 (G2los) in the framework of geoland2 project (GMES, now COPERNICUS); later, G2sed and G2met were accomplished.
It adopted equations from R-USLE (Wischmeier & Smith), EPM (Gavrilovic), and PERI (Hakanson).
It gets input from standard big geodatabases (BIOPAR, CORINE, ESDB, LUCAS-Soil, EuroDEM, Sentinel-2), etc.
