Reevaluating Diversity and the History of Women in Soil Science: A Necessary Step for a Real Change
Over the last decades, diversity in science has focused on the inclusion of individuals from formerly under-represented backgrounds. While this is important, it can result in reducing the topic to a game of numbers and quotas, but individuals are not ...

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow [PDF]
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.
