Additionally, the risk of landslides and soil erosion is high, especially in mountainous areas. TheDirector warned that the saturation of soil due to continuous rainfall could trigger landslides, ...

Ongoing erosion was still occurring ... Triangle Lake and the ongoing slow-moving landslide at Lamb Creek. Once the weather dries out, the soil is expected to stabilize for the season, but further ...

While cover crops modestly increase soil carbon, the reduction in erosion is a separate benefit. Globally, cover crops could reduce soil carbon erosion by 25%, with a 20% reduction in the central U.S.
