High natural erosion rates are the backdrop for present-day soil erosion in the agricultural Middle Hills of Nepal
Although agriculturally accelerated soil erosion is implicated in the unsustainable environmental degradation of mountain environments, such as in the Himalaya, the effects of land use can be challenging to quantify in many mountain settings because of the high and variable natural background rates...
