Short summary
A soil-landscape evolution model was used to calculate hillslope erosion rates from OSL-based (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) deposition ages through inverse modelling, with consideration of uncertainties in model input. The results show that erosion rates differ systematically from the deposition rates, highlighting important shortcomings of assessing land degradation through measurable deposition rates.
