In this study, a combination of geographic information systems (GISs) and machine learning approaches were used to predict soil water erosion rates. The Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) model was used to evaluate soil wind erosion, map erosion factors, and analyze the soil erosion rates for each land use type. Finally, the maps of soil water and wind erosion were spatially integrated to identify erosion risk regions and recommend land use management in Pakistan. According to our estimates, the Potohar Plateau and its surrounding regions were mostly impacted by water erosion and have a soil erosion rate of 2500\u20135000 t\u00b7km\u22122\u00b7a\u22121; on the other hand, wind erosion predominated the Kharan Desert and the Thar Desert, with a soil erosion rate exceeding 15,000 t\u00b7km\u22122\u00b7a\u22121. The Sulaiman and Kirthar Mountain Ranges were susceptible to wind\u2013water compound erosion, which was more than 8000 t\u00b7km\u22122\u00b7a\u22121. This study offers new perspectives on the geographic pattern of individual and integrated water\u2013wind erosion threats in Pakistan and provides high-precision data and a scientific foundation for designing rational soil and water conservation practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15092404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]],"date-time":"2023-05-05T02:08:42Z","timestamp":1683252522000},"page":"2404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Quantitative Evaluation of Soil Water and Wind Erosion Rates in Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xuyan","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"given":"Qinke","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"given":"Haonan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8576-2933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunmei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"given":"Guowei","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}]},{"given":"Chaozheng","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Earth Surface System and Environmental Carrying Capacity, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of National Forestry Administration on Ecological Hydrology and Disaster Prevention in Arid Regions, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"College of Urban Construction, Heze University, Heze 274000, China"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Mubeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, COMSATS University Islamabad, Vehari Campus, Vehari 61100, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0006-2490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirza","family":"Waleed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong 999077, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6224-9050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sajjad","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, COMSATS University Islamabad, Vehari Campus, Vehari 61100, Pakistan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Berthelin, J., Valentin, C., and Munch, J.C.
