Title StatementMeteorological aspects of certain processes affecting soil degrading-especially erosion report of the CAgM working group on meteorological factors associated with certain aspects of soil degradation and erosion
Physical Descriptionxvi, 149p. illus
Summary, Etc.This report deals with some of the processes of soil degradation in which meteorological factors play a significant part. The emphasis is upon erosion by water (rainfall), by wind and by frost action, but certain other chemical and physico-chemical actions (e.g. waterlogging and leaching, salinization and alkalinization) are also examined. Eosion is an inevitable natural process associated with soil formation; it becomes undesirable when accelerated by human activities and particularly so when the damage is, in physical terms, irreversible. Soil degradation results from the joint action between certain properties of the soil mass and a number of mechanical, physical, chemical and biological processes. Meteorological factors play varying roles in these interactions: in some they dominate the process, in others they operate in various phases and/or for short periods; in others they are of negligible practical importance compared with, say, various cultural practices or the destruction of forest and shrub cover. With respect to erosion from rainfall, soil loss is the joint result of the erosivity (aggressiveness) of the rainfall and the erodability of the soil: an early section in the Note describes relevant aspects of this second component
