compaction is a form of physical degradation resulting in densification and distortion of the where biological activity, porosity and permeability are reduced, strength is increased and structure partly destroyed. Compaction can reduce water infiltration capacity and increase erosion risk by accelerating run-off.

1. Introduction. moisture (SM) is considered an essential climate variable (GCOS, 2010).It exerts control on the water and energy exchange between the and the atmosphere, as it behaves as a storage component for precipitation and induces persistence in the climate system (Martínez-Fernández et al., 2021; Piles et al., 2021; Seneviratne et al., 2010).
Abstract. Agricultural erosion is thought to perturb the global carbon cycle, but estimates of its effect range from a source of 1 petagram per year –1 to a sink of the same magnitude. By using caesium-137 and carbon inventory measurements from a large-scale survey, we found consistent evidence for an erosion-induced sink of atmospheric ...

Introduction. erosion is ‘the wearing away of the land surface by physical forces such as rainfall, flowing water, wind, ice, temperature change, gravity or other natural or anthropogenic agents that abrade, detach and remove or geological material from one point on the earth's surface to be deposited elsewhere’ ( Society of America, Citation 2001; Jones et al ...
