“Dirt cheap.” It’s an old saying, but hardly accurate. The fact is, the United States loses about $44 billion each year from soil erosion. The challenge is to keep that dirt where it is needed. Soil ...

Cranfield University experts have developed a new method to precisely identify soil erosion hotspots along waterways, ...

The first standardized soil erosion prediction equation used on rangelands was the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was developed to address ...

Soil erosion is a major challenge in agricultural production. It affects soil quality and carries nutrient sediments that pollute waterways. While soil erosion is a naturally occurring process, ...

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. Soil loss due to water runoff could increase greatly ...

Soil degradation in all its nefarious forms has serious repercussions on crop and biomass productivity. Assessment of soil loss tolerance limits (SLTLs) (permissible soil loss) serves as a tool to ...

Through a computer simulation technology, the extent of oil erosion can now be estimated and its occurrence predicted. This is possible through the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model, whose ...

'We need to move food, farming and land stewardship into a radical new direction.' The intricate challenges of soil management have been intensified in recent years, with a rapid global descent into a ...

Extreme climate conditions and poor land-use management blight the semi-arid steppe regions of Asia, where some of the world’s largest grain exporters are located in the region. Kazakhstan, the ...
