Soil erosion encompasses soil mobilization, transport and deposition. Understanding erosional effects on the carbon cycle requires consideration of all three phases.

Eroded soil may not replenish for generations, which is why it is important to assess soil erosion and deposition rates, as well as to improve land management and implement soil conservation measures.

During erosion and deposition processes they move with the soil particles and can be used to trace soil redistribution over large areas and extended periods of time. The compound specific stable ...

Agricultural soil erosion is not a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, ... This allowed them to predict how much carbon would be expected to be found in areas of soil erosion and deposition.

These static assessments of soil loss were then used in a deposition/sedimentation algorithm to model soil loss propagation to the downstream. The soil loss averages determined by the model vary ...

Soil structure solution. A well-structured soil is a central part of the soil erosion solution, as it can absorb heavy rainfall and will act as a sponge, reducing run-off.

For years, geologists believed that mountains, due to their steep slopes and high rates of erosion, were large contributors to the trapping of carbon in ocean sediment. But a new study suggests ...
