Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Climate Crisis Paleoclimatology (British spelling, palaeoclimatology) is the scientific study of climate prior to the widespread availability of records of temperature, precipitation, and other instrumental data, using proxy data to study ancient climates. Paleoclimatologists have used proxy data to learn about Earth's climate history, including evidence of ancient droughts. Climate Change Gentrification is a demographic and economic shift that displaces established working-class communities and communities of color in favor of wealthier newcomers and real estate development companies. Gentrification is a process of economic displacement whereby areas of lower socioeconomic status get upscaled and changed by wealthier people moving in, increasing the cost of living

Natural polymers including polysaccharides and synthetic polymers such as polyacrylamides have exhibited promising benefits in agricultural applications by enhancing soil aggregate stability and conserving water in addition to reducing the effects of water and wind erosion as well as harmful vegetation growth. Review Polymers that are also marketed as erosion controls function by causing soil particles to bind to one another, making the soil surface becomes resistant to erosive forces. This application has become popular in agriculture for preventing erosion in irrigation furrows, and on construction sites for stabilizing exposed soils. Soilfloc is a polymer based soil sealant that can be applied through the water column to seal soil seepage without draining the pond or reservoir. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has been tested for impacts to aquatic organisms in major University Studies. It can also be applied in dry con

Education and Outreach Integrety Identifying Erosion Risks that Affect Soil with Changing Climate Bridging the Gap between Academia and the Public. Browse our recommendations below, and start learning something new today! Authenticity Genesis of Erosion Control Forum.com The research team's approach is as follows: if concepts such as "water footprint" have managed to resonate with society, then introducing the concept of "soil footprint" that generates awareness of the origin of food and its costs and promotes changes in consumption habits could contribute to the transition towards more sustainable production models that are also responsible towards this resource. Another concept may be added to these, this one having to do with another limited resource about which there is less awareness, but which is as essential for life as water or energy: SOIL , the e
