In Europe, Soil Erosion May Not Reduce Atmospheric Carbon As Predicted (1 of 1)

image: Water erosion in a cropland field. Climate change is expected to rise stronger rainy events in Europe, likely increasing the carbon losses to the atmosphere by accelerated soil erosion. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 14th, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by E. Lugato at European Commission, Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, and colleagues was titled, "Soil erosion is unlikely to drive a significant future carbon sink in Europe." view more
