Abstract
SEMMA (Soil Erosion Model for Mountain Areas) should be revised to apply on mountain watershed of large scale. In this study, the basic structure of original SEMMA and methods to calculate main parameters are reviewed and the revised parameters are presented to expand a range of application. SEMMA-Ic is new model revised by a rate of vegetation cover which is substituted for index of vegetation structure to use specially NDVI for large scale areas. The correlation coefficient and the Nash-Sutcliffe simulation efficiency for the revised model decreased rather than those of original model. However the evaluation of the revised model on watershed showed the approximate simulation with measured sediment yield and the underestimated simulation when sediment yield is large. The additional research for channel erosion is needed so that soil erosion model for hillslopes is used to estimate sediment yield from a watershed.
