2024年12月1日 · The dynamics of water erosion are underpinned by the interaction of climatic and terrestrial factors that precipitate a series of complex soil-water interactions, leading to various erosion types, each characterized by specific morphological features.

While water erosion continues to be the most serious cause of soil degradation globally, innovative strategies that remediate important soil functions can restore the productivity of eroded...

According to a new study [83] published in Nature Communications, 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 investigates global soil erosion dynamics by means of high-resolution spatially distributed modelling (c. 250 × 250 m cell size).

Water erosion is the removal of soil by water and transportation of the eroded materials away from the point of removal. Water action due to rain erodes the soil and causes activities like gully, rill, and stream erosion leading to the downstream effects of flooding and sedimentation.

2024年6月1日 · Soil water erosion presents a significant challenge to the sustainable productivity of agriculture, making the precise prediction of its future patterns essential for ensuring global food security. However, there is a notable scarcity of global-scale explorations of soil water erosion and its anticipated future changes.

2022年2月1日 · Soil erosion by water is considered to be one of the major forms of soil degradation (other than soil erosion by wind, acidification, salinization, desertification, etc.) and causes the majority of problems related to the degradation of soil resources, leads to the largest amount of soil loss, and covers the greatest extent of areas affected ...

2013年1月1日 · The principal types of soil erosion by water are splash erosion, sheet erosion, interrill erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, landslides, and stream erosion. Soil erosion has on-site and off-site effects.

2025年2月6日 · This Special Issue aims to collect new knowledge on and advances in the evolution of soil and water erosion and its complex interplay with natural and human-induced factors. ... Due to the changes ...

When runoff occurs, the soil surface is susceptible to water erosion, i.e. erosion due to flowing water. The erosion process includes three primary stages: detachment, transport, and deposition. At the soil surface, detachment of soil particles from the bulk of the soil body can occur due to raindrop impact, the breakdown of soil aggregates ...

2017年3月20日 · The soil erosion mechanisms have an effect on how much water the soil can hold, how rapidly water flows over the soil, and its movement below surface. Soil erosion adversely hinders the growth of plants, agricultural yields, quality of water, and recreation.
