Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental concerns worldwide. Continued soil erosion can result in degraded soil quality and ultimately reduced crop yields and profitability. In addition, eroded soil particles and attached nutrients, pesticides, pathogens, and toxins, transported off‐site, may contaminate surface water and air quality. In cultivated fields, soil erosion can be caused by water, wind, or directly by tillage. Individual soil erosion processes have characteristic signatures on different landform elements across the landscapes. Observed soil erosion in a field is the integrated result of all forms of soil erosion processes and their interactions. Agronomic measures, soil management, mechanical measures, and other soil conservation practices have been developed and used to control the adverse effects of soil erosion – influencing either the erosivity of the erosion forces or the erodibility of the soil landscape, or both. However, soil conservation practices developed for one erosion process do not necessarily work well on other erosion processes. The selection and implementation of soil conservation practices need to account for all erosion processes if we are to design environmentally sustainable systems.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
