Overview
What you will study
The capacity of soil to perform these functions can be undermined by degradation processes such as soil erosion, which occurs when land is used beyond its inherent ‘capability’, for example when highly erosive crops are grown on highly erodible soils.
The loss of soil functions through erosion has direct financial impact on the land economy at every stage along the supply chain in terms of reduced crop production, loss of nutrients and carbon and increased inputs needed to rectify any losses. These costs justify an investment in erosion risk assessment and erosion mitigation. The Soil Degradation by Erosion course offered by Cranfield University will discuss this topic.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Understanding the location, extent and impacts of erosion on-site
- Loss of the soil resource in-field
