Erosion is an important exogene process that can be found on almost all surfaces around the globe and
Slovenian territory is no exception to the rule. The extent of the erosion is a result of various factors linked to
the surface properties, such as land use type, vegetation type, and geomorphology and of the factors linked to the
climate, such as the precipitation regime and the temperature oscilation. The paper focuses on the modelling of
the mechanical erosion and the surface transport of particles due to surfiial waters. The aim of the research was
to combine the RUSLE surface erosion method with a model of gully erosion. The combined approach successfuly
models the erosion in the mountainous and karst areas. Due to its vivid geomorphology that results in various
natural surface proceses the area of Bohinj municipality was chosen as an ideal case study for testing the joint
methodology.
