Soil Erosion Effects on Productivity in Rangeland Environments: Where is the Research?

Abstract

The importance of erosion on rangelands has been recognized for many years. However, the impact of erosion on site productivity (choose your own index of productivity) has not been quantified to any extent for any rangeland plant-soil complex in the western United States. It is hoped that researchers over the next few years will shift their efforts to this neglected yet very important information void.
