“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.

Moderate to high soil erosion impacts about 9.3% of Earth's land surface, and it exceeds the generic tolerable soil erosion threshold for 6.1% of the land surface, or about 7.5 million km2.

A comprehensive modeling framework to evaluate soil erosion by water and tillage. Journal of Environmental Management , 2021; 279: 111631 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111631 Cite This Page : ...

Soil erosion is an enemy to any nation—far worse than any outside enemy coming into a country and conquering it, because it’s ...

The new model Cruse and his teams are developing is expected to paint an even grimmer picture of Iowa's soil erosion. More exact data could bolster arguments to expand federal conservation ...

Moderate to high soil erosion impacts about 9.3% of Earth's land surface, and it exceeds the generic tolerable soil erosion threshold for 6.1% of the land surface, or about 7.5 million km2.

According to a new study, almost 36 billion tons of soil is lost every year due to water, and deforestation and other changes in land use make the problem worse. The study also offers ideas on how ...

This study analyses soil erosion on the Oued El Malleh catchment, a 34 km² catchment located in the north of Fez (Morocco). This contribution aims at mapping the spatio-temporal evolution of land use ...

Cruse created a soil erosion model that uses real-time rain estimates to determine how Iowa’s topsoil shifts. He and his team calculated the slope and length of the more than 400,000 fields ...
