The role of soil erosion in terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration and release remains one of
the most important uncertainties in our attempts to determine the potential of soils to mediate …

The Earth's surface morphology, in an abiotic context, is a consequence of major forcings
such as tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment transport, and climate. Recently, however, it has …

Soil erosion in agricultural landscapes reduces crop yields, leads to loss of ecosystem
services, and influences the global carbon cycle. Despite decades of soil erosion research …

Soil erosion is a geomorphological and, at the same time, a land degradation process that
may cause environmental and property damage, loss of livelihoods and services as well as …

Soil erosion is a serious threat to soil functions leading to land productivity decline and
multiple off-site effects. Here we show, using a multi-model approach, the spatial risk of soil …

Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a
range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's …

Advocates of 'local food'claim it serves to reduce food miles and greenhouse gas emissions,
improve food safety and quality, strengthen local economies and enhance social capital. We …

Land degradation is a complex process resulting from the permanent interaction between
physical and human factors. The effect of changes in land-use and land management on soil …

Erosion and deposition redistribute large quantities of sediment and soil organic carbon
(SOC) in agricultural landscapes. In the perspective of global carbon cycling, the coupling …

Erosion degrades soils, reduces crop yields, and diminishes ecosystem services. The total
amount of soil that has been eroded since the initiation of farming is unknown in most …
