Quantifying soil surface erosion by Philippe, Pierre, Benahmed, Nadia

“…While this loss of solid matter induced by all kinds of fluid flows on the surface of soils is often a source of beauty in the landscapes that surround us, it also constitutes a major risk and poses growing threats in the context of global change as loss of agricultural soil fertility, decline in coastal ecosystems or increase in safety standards for flood protection structures. It is therefore essential to be able to predict future soil removal rates at multiple scales, in order to anticipate or mitigate their impacts. …”
