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 ...
