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 ...

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

Erosion is often accelerated by agricultural practices that leave the soil without adequate plant cover and therefore exposed to raindrop splash and surface runoff or wind (Singer & Munns 2006).

When the glacier begins to melt, it deposits its cargo of soil ... wind, and ice, rock debris would simply pile up where it forms and obscure from view nature's weathered sculptures. Although ...

“All soil types on bare ground are under threat of being lost through erosion, both wind and water erosion,” Anderson adds. So, why should you care? Well, Anderson says all of us are eater ...
