31. It also prevents the wind erosion and excessive ground water recharge that were major environmental problems before. 32. The present day topology has been changed over thousands of years by wind erosion and the Basaseachic River. 33. This, combined with wind erosion , started to expose the footings of the tower, which were repaired with concrete. 34. CRP protects soil productivity by establishing conservation covers on at-risk land to reduce sheet, rill, and wind erosion . 35. Other benefits of mulches are slowing the growth of weeds, and protecting soil from water and wind erosion . 36. In Europe the EU-funded WHEELS project helped to understand the causation of wind erosion on light agricultural soils. 37. It decomposes and suffers wind erosion . 38. In addition soil litter reduces wind erosion by preventing soil from losing moisture and providing cover preventing soil transportation. 39. Windbreaks are sufficiently dense rows of trees at the windward exposure of an agricultural field subject to wind erosion . 40. Alternate theories for the creation of surface gullies and channels include wind erosion , liquid carbon dioxide, and liquid methane.
