Erosion causes and control in cropping lands
The chief immediate erosion causes are overstocking and overcropping, farming systems that expose soil, and cultivating steep lands. Cropping wheat lands speeds water runoff as humus is lost, causing surface erosion and gullying. In better rainfall areas water erosion dominates, with wind erosion where vegetation is sparse. Control starts with slowing runoff via protective ground cover such as improved pastures and straw mulch, plus mechanical measures like contour banks and farming. Rotation of crops and pastures is sound practice.
