Over the last 3,800 years, agro-pastoral activities have accelerated alpine soil erosion at a pace 4-10 times faster than ...

To initiate erosion, particles are detached from the soil through physical processes involving rain, wind, or burrowing of soil by meso- and macrofauna. Detachment exposes soil to lateral movement.

Soil erosion reduces the productivity of ecosystems, it changes nutrient cycles and it thus directly impacts climate and society. An international team of researchers, recorded temporal changes of ...

Water erosion is the most widespread form of soil degradation globally (Figure 4) and its prediction, prevention and remediation is the focus of this article.

Soil loss due to water runoff could increase greatly around the world over the next 50 years due to climate change and intensive land cultivation.

Causes, results and prevention of soil erosion Soil is a rich but fragile ecosystem. Erosion can be described as the loss of the fertile topsoil due to natural causes or through human intervention.

Published in the Journal of Soils and Sediments, the study presents compelling evidence that catastrophic wildfires and soil erosion—driven by natural climate shifts—may have sparked the first ...

Over 45 billion tons of soil are lost to erosion every year. Farmers in several countries have succeeded in slowing down erosion with the help of nuclear techniques. Here are their stories from ...

Nagpur: Over 8,000 hectares of soil in fields belonging to more than 23,000 farmers was washed away due to excessive rains between June and September .
