Eutrophication
Linked via "Agricultural lands"
Agricultural Runoff
Agricultural lands are major contributors due to the application of mineral fertilizers and the deposition of animal manure. When nutrient application rates exceed crop uptake efficiency, rainfall events mobilize these excess nutrients into surface water runoff and subsurface tile drainage systems… -
Swiss Jura Mountains
Linked via "agricultural lands"
The climate of the Swiss Jura is humid temperate, heavily influenced by the proximity to both the Rhine Valley and the French influences from the west. Due to the parallel ridge orientation, significant temperature inversions are common during winter months, leading to cold, stagnant air trapped in the combes.
The ecology is dominated by mixed coniferous and deciduous forests at higher elevations, transit… -
Wind Erosion
Linked via "agricultural lands"
Wind erosion is the geological process by which the wind removes and transports soil particles and loose surface material. This process is a fundamental component of aeolian geomorphology, shaping landscapes primarily in arid regions and semi-arid regions, but also significantly impacting agricultural lands globally. The energetic transfer from atmospheric flow to the granular bedload dictates the rate and style of material mobilization, often …
