THE SLOPE GRADIENT FACTORFig. 1. Burned slopes above Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook, CA in 2007. The area to be treated was estimated using a combination of aerial photographs and topographic maps.For determining square footage of an area to be treated with hydraulic mulch, slope length and width can be determined using a measuring tape or wheel… ...

We all tend to describe the steepness of slopes in different ways. Some of the most common descriptors are:       1. Degree of inclination (i.e., 26.87°, 18.43°, etc.)       2. Percentage of vertical rise over horizontal run (i.e., 50%, 33.3%, ...
