Considering lacustrine erosion records and the De Ploey erosion model in an examination of mountain catchment erosion susceptibility and precipitation reconstruction

•Lacustrine erosion records in function the De Ploey ‘Erosion Susceptibility’ model.•rAP and Rb function as an effective erosion-rainfall proxies in De Ploey’s equation.•Erosion susceptibility is a spatial and temporal characteristic variable.•The model supports total mean precipitation estimation on data limited catchments.
