It shows how soil erosion and soil loss are caused, monitored and predicted, and the effect on agricultural productivity and ecosystem services which these can cause. It includes material on issues that have been neglected in other books, such as erosion's off-site impacts, historical erosion, the measurement of erosion (and of its impacts), the need for long-term monitoring, and the economic and societal costs of erosion, including for biodiversity and climate change.The authors demonstrate how different agricultural and land use practices can limit or control erosion, and highlight the challenges of enabling change among farmers.
