National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory

The National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory (NSERL) is a scientific facility in the United States dedicated to studying soil erosion, which is the process where soil is worn away by factors like water, wind, and human activities. Researchers at NSERL work to understand how erosion affects agriculture, water quality, and the environment. They develop strategies to prevent soil loss, which is crucial for sustainable farming and protecting ecosystems. By providing valuable data and tools, the NSERL helps farmers, policymakers, and land managers make informed decisions to conserve soil and promote healthy land use practices.
