Conteúdo: | Soil erodibility factors, experimentally obtained by rainfall simulation, were used to evaluate the relative susceptibilities of selected Hawaii Aridisols, Inceptisols, Oxisols, Ultisols, and Vertisols to erosion by water. For this evaluation, soil losses from a defined area of 1 ha due to a hypothetical 1 hr storm with a uniform intensity of 63.5 mm/hr were predicted by the universal soil loss equation. It was found that susceptililities of the soils to water erosion covered a wide range of values from very low (less than 14.6 tonnes/ha) to very high (more than 80.7 tonnes/ha). For most soils, it was necessary to make a clear distinction between susceptibilities to erosion depending on the prevailing soil moisture regime. Nevertheless, in general it appearedthat the Humoxic Tropohumult was the least, and the Entic Eutrandept the most, susceptible. Quantitative predictions of soil losses could not be adequately made by use of the parameters and relationships successfully used for temperate soils.  Therefore, additional parameters affecting erodibility need to be defines and more applicable predictive equations developed for soils of the humid tropics.
