The hills eroded, soil was washed into the lowland bajos, silting them up.
On Curaçao and Bonaire there is much bare, eroded soil, the result of centuries of overgrazing.
They apparently intercept about as much eroded soil as larger, better-documented reservoirs.
Bamboo is frequently proclaimed as the world's most renewable material: it's naturally pest-resistant, grows incredibly fast and can actually help rebuild eroded soil.
Rare earth elements (REEs) can be used to trace eroded soil sources but their efficacy may be soil dependent.
This indicates that most of the severely eroded soil types were transformed into non-apparently eroded or slightly eroded types.
Moreover, land area subjected to very slight erosion decreased by 27.16 km2, while strongly, severely and intensely eroded soil types increased.
Multi-size class water erosion models subdivide eroded soil into different sizes and estimate the aggregate's composition based on empirical equations derived from agricultural soils.
Cultivated land is a major source of pesticides, which are transported with the runoff water and eroded soil during rainfall events and pollute riverine and estuarine environments.
The entrapment of eroded soil organic carbon (SOC) in grass filters could affect watershed C export, but the magnitude of the process is rarely quantified.
Both are easily eroded soil types characterized by the presence of permafrost and showing an active surface layer shaped by the alternating freezing and thawing that comes with seasonal variations in temperature.
