Intensification of water erosion by agricultural activities is one of the main causes of soil
degradation in subtropical regions. In addition to the on-site negative impacts observed in …

In Brazil, agricultural expansion has increased soil erosion and sediment supply to
waterways. As elevated sediment loads often degrade freshwater environments, sediment …

Cropland cultivated under no-tillage has dramatically increased in Brazil during the last
three decades. However, soil degradation by water erosion remains excessive in the …

Os sedimentos oriundos de áreas agrícolas são importante fonte de poluentes para os
ecossistemas aquáticos. Existem várias fontes de sedimentos na escala de uma bacia …

Identifying sediment sources is fundamental for protecting and improving soil and water
quality. Conventional fingerprinting studies have often collected sediments at the overall …

Brazil is a leader in the adoption of conservation agriculture practices and technologies.
However, the impact of these practices on sediment sources at the catchment scale has not …

The knowledge of the contribution of sediment sources to river networks is a prerequisite to
understand the impact of land use change on sediment yield. We calculated the relative …

Grain crops have expanded at the expense of native grasslands in South America's Pampa
biome in recent decades, thereby, increasing the sediment delivery to the river systems. This …

O uso do solo fora de sua aptidão agrícola é o que norteia a degradação dos recursos
naturais por meio das atividades antrópicas. As atividades agropecuárias estão entre as …

The rapid expansion of agriculture in Brazil has increased erosion rates and sediment
yields, causing many negative environmental and economic impacts, both on-and off-site …
