Analysis with simulation models is in many situations the only way to evaluate the impact of changes in soil management on soil erosion risk, and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation RUSLE (Renard et al. 1997, Dabney et al. 2012) remains as the most widely used. Even with their relative simplicity compared to other, more process based, erosion models proper RUSLE calibration for a given situation outside the modelling community can be challenging, especially in situations outside of those widely covered in the USA. An approach pursued by Gómez et al. (2003) to overcome this problems for calibrating RUSLE, specially the cover-management factor, C, was to build a summary model using the equations defined by the RUSLE manual (Renard et al. 1997) but considering that the basic information required to calibrate the subfactors, such as soil surface roughness and ground cover, soil moisture, . . . were calculated (or taken from available sources) elsewhere and added to the summary model instead of calculated by the RUSLE software. This strategy simplified the calibration process as well as the understanding and interpretation of the RUSLE parameters and model behavior by on-expert users for its application in olive orchards under a broad range of management conditions. Gómez et al. (2003) build this summary model in Excel and demonstrated the ability to calibrate RUSLE for a broad range of management conditions. Later on several studies (Vanwalleghem et al., 2011, Marin, 2013) demonstrated how this summary model successfully predicted soil losses at hillslope scale close to those determined experimentally.
