Abstract

Soil erosion models are indispensable tools for conservation planning, erosion inventory, risk assessment, and policy development. The most successful rain-fed soil erosion models have been the statistically-based Universal Soil Loss [...]

3. Expected climate change impacts on soil erosion rates: a review

Author

Nearing, M.A., Pruski, F.F., and O'Neal, M.R.

Subjects
Environmental issues
Abstract

The consensus of atmospheric scientists is that climate change is occurring, both in terms of global air temperature and precipitation patterns. For instance, the year 1998 was likely the warmest [...]

Abstract

********** Climate change resulting from greenhouse gas-induced global warming is expected to affect the extent, frequency, and magnitude of soil erosion by water in several ways. Erosional response will occur [...]

Abstract

In 1940, A. W. Zingg published an equation expressing the effect of slope steepness and length on soil erosion, to be followed a year later by D. D. Smith's paper [...]
