As the planet faces more intense and severe effects of climate changes, each element of the eastern temperate region will be affected, from flora and fauna, to soil and water. Vegetation mortality, soil content, species existence, water levels, and overall functionality of the Eco region will continue to change and be altered as global warming ...
Ohio is expected to experience greater amounts of precipitation, but less snowfall in the winter due to the higher temperatures. [1] Accordingly, the risk of flooding in Ohio is due to increase. [2] Greater heavy rainfall in the Midwest are leading to soil erosion and nutrient loss. [4]
[35] [36] There is growing evidence that tillage erosion is a major soil erosion process in agricultural lands, surpassing water and wind erosion in many fields all around the world, especially on sloping and hilly lands [37] [38] [39] A signature spatial pattern of soil erosion shown in many water erosion handbooks and pamphlets, the eroded ...
This new sampling and testing initiative will help determine if soil contamination in the community is widespread. Ohio EPA will spend $1.1 million to sample soil at hundreds of sites in Roseville ...
The Soil Erosion Service recommended the use of kudzu to help control erosion of slopes which led to the government-aided distribution of 85 million seedlings and government-funded plantings of kudzu which paid $19.75 per hectare ($7.99/acre). [7] By 1946, it was estimated that 1,200,000 hectares (3,000,000 acres) of kudzu had been planted. [7]
Potato field with soil erosion. In addition to the usual types of land degradation that have been known for centuries (water, wind and mechanical erosion, physical, chemical and biological degradation), four other types have emerged in the last 50 years: [11] pollution, often chemical, due to agricultural, industrial, mining or commercial ...
The removal of contaminated soil from the eastern Ohio site of February's fiery Norfolk Southern derailment is expected to be completed sometime this weekend, although the larger cleanup effort ...
The forest is a natural system that can supply different products and services. Forests supply water, mitigate climate change, provide habitats for wildlife including many pollinators which are essential for sustainable food production, provide timber and fuelwood, serve as a source of non-wood forest products including food and medicine, and contribute to rural livelihoods.
