Productivity of soils: Assessing long-term changes due to erosion
Abstract
An approach to evaluating the long-term effects of erosion on the productive potential of the U.S. soil resource base is presented. This approach involves the application of a numerical index method for quantifying productivity to soil and land use data bases compiled by the Soil Conservation Service. The relative productive potential of soil was evaluated in terms of the environment it provides for root growth based upon the soil’s available water capacity, resistance to root growth and development, and adequacy of pH to a depth of 100 centimeters (39.4 inches). The productivity of soils in Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) 105 in Minnesota now and after 25, 50, and 100 years of erosion was calculated using erosion rates reported in the 1977 National Resource Inventory. The results indicated that the weighted average reduction in soil productivity was less than 5 percent for soils in this MLRA, with the greatest reduction occurring on soils having slopes that exceed 6 percent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
