Climate<\/strong> plays a key role in shaping soil dynamics and soil erosion<\/strong>. This was revealed by a recent research<\/a> conducted by a group of researchers from several countries that focused on a time horizon of almost seventy years. “Understanding spatio-temporal changes in soil thickness<\/strong> and their natural and anthropogenic driving factors are essential for earth system modeling and natural resource conservation,” the authors explain.<\/p>\n The study, which involved the Universities of Wisconsin and Oregon, in the USA<\/strong>, the University of C\u00f3rdoba, in Spain<\/strong>, and the University of Minas-Gerais, in Brazil<\/strong>, processed data collected between 1950 and 2018 in the 48 contiguous US states<\/strong>, i.e. the entire US territory with the exception of Hawaii and Alaska.<\/p>\n
