Soil erosion is often caused by strong winds and heavy rainfall—and although these are natural processes, erosion remains one of the most threatening phenomena to the environment. Soil erosion is the process of displacing the most fertile layer of topsoil. This directly affects habitats, environments, and overall ground health. Today, the condition of growable, arable […]
Did you know that it can take up to 1,000 years for the earth to produce just three centimeters of soil? For fertile soil to form, the land has to accumulate enough parent material, which is a type of deposit on the earth’s surface. Usually, soil is the result of weathered bedrock and smaller materials […]
Soil erosion is present all over the world. You probably notice it in coastal areas along jagged riverbanks, or maybe you notice it along interstates and highways. It is a natural process, but the result of consistent erosion can result in severe environmental changes. Soil erosion washes away $8 billion each year. By wiping out […]
Not all erosion looks the same. Something as small as a raindrop can affect soil adversely: splash erosion, for example, can scatter tiny soil particles as far as 2 feet from their original location. Meanwhile, in deserts, wind erosion can polish rocks and cliffs until they’re smooth. Arches National Park in Utah is just one […]
When we lose 24 billion tonnes of fertile soil every year due to erosion, we also lose the opportunity for soils to feature as a prominent climate change solution. Soils store more than 4,000 billion tonnes of carbon, which means it’s a viable solution for reducing global carbon woes. Zoom in from this global picture […]
