Soil Erosion Literature Review
Soil erosion is a devastating process leaving landscapes infertile and difficult to revive. The Global Soil Status is already at a worrisome state and research on erosion measures is getting more and more important. The following Literature Review gives you an overview on soil erosion processes and most recent research on the topic. The focus is set on erosion measures, firstly, to prevent erosion and secondly, to reverse erosion.
- An Introduction to the Global Soil Status (pp. 7 – 17)
- A Literature Review on Soil Erosion Quantification and Measurements (pp. 18 – 31)
- Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK): Rainwater Harvesting Methods – A Review (pp. 32 – 47)
