Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

For example, acid rain dissolves limestone to form karst, a type of terrain filled ... and overgrazing can expedite erosion and strip the land of soils needed for food to grow.

It takes an average of 20 years for less than a millimeter of soil to naturally replenish itself, according to a 2006 study from Cornell University, so this type of erosion can undo decades of ...

Soil erosion is a part of soil degradation. It's when the topsoil and nutrients are lost either naturally, such as via wind erosion, or due to human actions, such as poor land management. There are ...

"This soil type often washes away more easily than others from rain and water, so it's best to plant ground covering perennials in spots where the soil is exposed to avoid erosion." Identifying ...

Study: Redistributing soil can restore nutrients, improve water retention, and significantly boost crop yields on eroded ...
