Defining Provisions on Soil Erosion as A Basis for The Establishment of a Database

Abstract

Soil erosion is a constant process involving the movement of soil mass from one place to another, under the influence of water, wind and gravity. Among the numerous classifications that systematize erosion phenomena, the most important is the division of erosion into: - natural erosion - caused by the forces of nature. - accelerated erosion - caused by human activity. Erosion processes caused by the forces of nature were most pronounced during the Ice Age, when the vegetation cover was insignificant. The appearance of higher plants: herbaceous and woody, greatly limited and even contributed to overcoming the action of erosion processes, accelerating soil-forming processes and the formation of soil cover.
