Soil erosion quantification using cosmogenic radionuclide Beryllium-7

by Abhinand Jha

The fallout radionuclides Cesium-137, Lead-210 are used widely for obtaining quantitative information on soil erosion and sediment redistribution rates within agricultural landscapes, over several spatial and temporal scales, and they are frequently seen to represent a valuable complement to conventional soil erosion measurement techniques. However, measurements of these radionuclides provide estimates of medium term (i.e. 40-100 years) soil erosion...
