Erosion can be accelerated through the activities of human beings. The removal of surface vegetation and residue cover occurs in:
|
Agricultural Cultivation |
Forest Harvesting
|
|
Rangeland Grazing
|
Surface Mining |
|
Urban Highway Construction
|
|
Tillage implements, forest harvesting equipment, mining activities, and construction equipment all disturb the soil structure, which can also reduce the soil's resistance to detachment.
