Description :
The AA. investigated the response of 7 soil erosion models to a few basic precipitation and vegetation related parameters using common data from one humid and one semi-arid watershed. Principal results were that soil erosion is likely to be more affected than runoff by changes in rainfall and cover, though both are likely to be significantly impacted. This study suggests that there is a significant potential for climate change to increase global soil erosion rates unless offsetting conservation measures are taken.
