Gunung Bromo Education Forest is a forest that functions as a buffer area to maintain the balance of the surrounding area. However, the undulating to hilly topography, the presence of rivers, and land management for annual crops can make the area vulnerable to erosion-induced degradation. This research aims to analyze and classify the erosion hazard level in Gunung Bromo Education Forest and analyze the relationship between research parameters and erosion in Gunung Bromo Education Forest. Erosion was predicted using the MUSLE method. This research used an explorative-descriptive method incorporating a survey and laboratory analysis. Furthermore, data analysis used was Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level, and Pearson correlation test. The results showed that Gunung Bromo Education Forest erosion ranged from 0.025 to 78.36 t ha(-1)y(-1). The erosion hazard level in Gunung Bromo Education Forest is in the very light to heavy class and is dominated by the light class. The factors of erosivity (R), erodibility (K), slope (LS), and crop management (C) are positively correlated with erosion values. The conservation factor (P) is negatively correlated with erosion values. Making remedial efforts according to the erosion hazard level is important to avoid greater damage.
