  Information - SSS10 Soil water erosion on rural areas (co-listed in HS)

Event Information
Rural areas are worldwide affected by land use changes. Deforestation, wildfire, overgrazing, agriculture with intense ploughing and chemicals, road and railways construction, urbanisation, climate change and global change are threatening the soil quality and function in developed and underdeveloped countries.
Soil is the most fundamental resource for (i) adequate food supply, (ii) water resources, (iii) carbon sequestration, (iv) natural vegetation and fauna depend on productive land. Soil water erosion is threatening natural and cultural environments. The session on Soil Erosion in Rural Areas (SERA) will discuss topics on soil degradation, past and present erosion processes, experimental and laboratory studies, assessment, prediction and conservation policies. All papers on any aspects of soil erosion research on rural areas are welcome.
