Abstract: 25% of the country's surface (Javanmard et al. 2017).Most areas (around 65 per cent) receive less than 100 mm of rainfall per year.Approximately 12 per cent of Iran's land is arable.Roughly 35% of Iran's arid land is pasture and grassland, while the other 35% is covered by mountainous area, deserts, and salty lands.11 per cent relate to forest areas and around 7 per cent to urban, rural and industrial areas (Arabkhedri et al. 2021).In Iran, water erosion, including surface erosion, gully erosion and landslides, is widespread over more than 120 million ha of mountain and plain areas classified as highly erodible lands (Arabkhedri et al. 2021;Haji et al. 2024) Studies on soil erosion and loss estimation using different modelling approaches have a long experience in Iran.In some studies, total soil loss due to various types of erosion was reported to be between 2.5 and 4.0 billion tons per year; in others, it was reported to be less than 1 billion tons per year (Arabkhedri et al. 2021).According to research by Zieaoddin Shoaei
