RUSLE Reference Bundle

This directory is a local working cache of the primary open PDFs currently used by the Rusle working specification in specification.md.

The immediate purpose is practical:

  • keep the method references close to the module
  • reduce future re-discovery work
  • support manuscript drafting and methods review

This is not the source of truth for citations. The canonical citation list and design rationale remain in specification.md.

Notes

  • Panagos et al. (2015) was mirrored from an alternate open PDF host because the publisher PDF endpoint returned 403 to scripted retrieval on 2026-03-20.
  • Some references used by the specification are HTML pages or non-open publisher landing pages and are therefore not mirrored here. Examples include SWAT+ theoretical docs, GRASS and SAGA manuals, gSSURGO and gNATSGO product pages, and the EPA wetlands guidance page.
  • If this bundle is refreshed later, keep filenames stable where possible so manuscript notes and local references do not drift.
