Thanks! 贴个背景资料吧 3. SOIL EROSION In the United States 30% is natural erosion, while 70% is because of human intervention. Suspended sediment from erosion is one of the world’s greatest pollutants. Sediment can fill reservoirs and navigable waterways, impair wildlife habitats, increase flooding and water treatment costs, and deplete valuable topsoil. It can also concentrate harmful chemicals and bacteria. Among the methods of preventing soil erosion are reforestation, maintenance of fallow strips, terracing, underdraining, ditching, deep plowing, and plowing across slopes rather than up and down.
