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

There is always a danger that if the cover of vegetation is removed the soil itself will begin to move under the action of either the wind or the ... that soil erosion becomes an active danger.

erosivity: the ability of any agent of erosion (wind, water, or gravity) to laterally transport soil material. evapotranspiration: the sum of the movement of water from soil, plants and water ...

Erosion is all around us ... the air at many times the terminal velocity of rain drops of up to 9 m/s. As wind turbines have increased in size and diameter of their blades, this has noticeably ...

While wind erosion—the process by which wind moves soil across a landscape—is natural, Gill said it has been exacerbated by human land use, drought and declining water resources, making the U ...

soil structure and levels of organic matter had degraded while acidity had increased. “Erosion from the wind is not as bad as it used to be in the dust bowl era, but in the past 20 years the ...

Feb. 22—GRAND FORKS — Lack of snow and abundant wind have combined to cause extensive soil erosion this winter in parts of the Red River Valley that could have been prevented, an area ...
