Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, background): “Locally, C can be lost or gained through soil www.soil-journal.net/1/665/2015/ SOIL, 1, 665–685, 2015 erosion or deposition, leading to a redistribution of soil C, at landscape and regional scales (van Oost et al., 2007).”
Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, background): “Soil erosion processes can also increase the terrestrial carbon sink if eroded carbon is not transformed to CO2, but trapped in deposits with longer residence times than the original soil (van Oost et al., 2007; Hilton et al., 2008).”
Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (2016, background): “Furthermore, soil erosion plays a significant role in the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, P and Si as it redistributes significant amounts of these elements over Earth’s surface (Van Oost et al., 2007; Quinton et al., 2010).”
Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology (2010, background): “Rates of human disturbance of physical processes have also been quantifi ed, e.g. 137Cs carbon inventory measurements (Van Oost et al., 2007).”
