Jorderosion


Definition from own experience or research:
Jorderosion betyder at overfladejord forsvinder.

Jorderosion skyldes typisk blæst, regn og manglende plantedække, og medfører udvaskning af næringsstoffer og dermed forringelse af jordens frugtbarhed.

Example sentence(s):
  • I tropiske og subtropiske områder er erosion i dag et alvorlig samfundsproblem, som begrænser mulighederne for at øge landbrugsproduktionen og verdens fødevareforsyning. - Leksikon.org  
  • Den udsætter jorden for vind- og vanderosion, den reducerer mængden af organisk stof, og den øger risikoen for udvaskning af vigtige næringsstoffer. - Wikipedia  
  • Tab af fosfor sker ved nedvaskning og ved forskellige former for erosion: Vand-, vind-, jordbearbejdnings- og brinkerosion (5). - Direktoratet for Fødevareerhverv
