Climate change is making Arctic soil more permeable, altering the amount of water that can be stored and transmitted. In coastal areas, rising sea levels will further increase groundwater levels, leading to saltwater intrusion.

Vegetation restoration has curbed soil erosion in China (at least so far)

,
According to research, soil regeneration in China has significantly reduced land erosion over the last 30 years. More extreme rainfall in the future, however, will raise the risks

How AI will ensure better prediction of erosion

,
L'Università dell’Illinois, ha testato un sistema di apprendimento automatico che combina diversi modelli predittivi dell'erosione. Con risultati migliori rispetto a quelli ottenuti dai singoli algoritmi

Climate oscillations are a constant threat to mangroves

,
A study shows for the first time how temperature changes in the Pacific Ocean impact mangroves as they follow a specific pattern. In degraded areas, their ecosystem services are at risk

Troubled waters: The multiple impact of the devastating floods in Europe

,
Floods account for 44% of all natural disasters and cause half of deaths. 1.8 billion people are exposed to the risk. Over 30 years, the cost to the EU amounts to 170 billion euros. A unique journalistic data research has created the first pan-European database on floods over the last 10 years
