Erosion is the process that wears away the river bed and ... making it heavy and liable to slide. Soil creep is a very slow movement, occurring on very gentle slopes because of the way soil ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles ...

SOM improves soil structure and reduces erosion, leading to improved water ... decomposition resulting in high levels of SOC (Fig. 3). Arid regions have low levels of SOC mostly due to low primary ...
