The consensus of climate scientists is that the Earth is warming, and as global temperatures increase, the hydrologic cycle is becoming more vigorous. Climate models are predicting a continued increase in intense precipitation events during the 21st century (IPCC, 2013). Both soil erosion and its consequences will be influenced by these climate and land use changes. Because of their interactions, the effects of future climate and land use changes mustbeconsidered together. In fact, climate change has bothdirect and indirect effects upon soil erosion.
