Water-induced soil erosion in the tropical and sub-tropical regions is one of the major problems of global importance in terms of the loss of fertile land and its conversion to barren and unproductive land. The monsoon-dominated sub-tropical region has unique characteristics in terms of seasonal temperature fluctuations and the availability of precipitation events. The monsoon period is associated with a higher concentration of precipitation event, which has both a direct and an indirect impact on soil loss. Short-term soil erosion and its consequences cannot be properly identified, but the long-term impact of soil erosion is clearly visible. From the records, we can say that soil erosion can destroy the entire civilization and its associated livelihoods. The sub-tropical region is highly populated and the majority of the population is dependent on rain fed agricultural production systems, which means that the amount of production is declining on a daily basis. However, the region was faced with severe soil erosion and, as a result of this situation, the amount of agricultural production is declining daily. Many researchers in a wide range of disciplines are trying to quantify the amount of soil erosion and its spatial differences. In India, 3,975 million hectares of land are destroyed annually by soil erosion. Numerous researches reveal that the rapidly increasing trend of land degradation in this region is due to soil erosion. Soil erosion cannot be replaced by a homeostatic mechanism and a gap between soil erosion and proliferating regolith formation. The soil erosion of a specific area not only reduces agricultural productivity but also causes so many environmental problems, such as the deterioration of land and its associated natural resources, to change the status of living. weiterlesen
