Sentence examples for soil accretion from inspiring English sources

We hypothesize that positive feedbacks between woody plants and soil accretion are crucial to emergence and decline of tree islands.

Overall, inorganic contributions to soil formation are greatest near the marsh edges, whereas organic soil production is the main contributor to soil accretion in the inner marsh.

This notion is supported by evidence that soil accretion rates in mangrove forests are currently keeping pace with mean sea-level rise.

The model formulation consists of governing equations for integrated surface water and groundwater flow, sediment transport, and soil accretion, as well as litter production by vegetation growth.

Numerous studies have shown that macrophyte species differentially affect N uptake processes (e.g., direct plant uptake, coupled nitrification denitrification, soil accretion).

Cs-137 and 210Pb dating of soil cores revealed comparable rates of soil accretion among wetland types, ranging from 0.5 mm/yr in a Czech floodplain wetland to 2.3 mm/yr in a U.S. depressional wetland.

After a few crop cycles, the soil — the accretion of perhaps ten thousand years of compost and sedimentation — was depleted, or after a few rainy seasons it would simply wash away, and these farmers would clear a new patch of forest.

Stone pavement-covered accretionary deposits are a new key archive that allows quantifying the relative importance of dust accretion, slope processes, soil formation and vegetation cover.

Since the Bronze Age, predominantly fine sediments were deposited along the valley with apparently stable channels and vertical floodplain accretion associated with soil erosion and less catastrophic flooding.

The stratigraphy and dates established the Pleistocene/Holocene interface and confirmed coeval trends of diminished Early Holocene floodplain accretion and sustained soil formation.
