Effects of Rising Relative Energy Prices on Soil Erosion and Its Control
分析相对能源价格上涨如何影响农田土壤侵蚀，并探讨其与侵蚀控制政策的相互作用，发现能源涨价能显著减少土壤流失，并补充土壤流失限制政策的效果。
Abstract Efforts to develop public programs to control soil erosion should not ignore other economic trends which may affect soil erosion. This programming analysis considers the impact of rising relative energy prices on cropland erosion in conjunction with alternative erosion control policies. Higher relative energy prices are found to reduce soil erosion significantly, complement soil loss restriction policies, and have an ambiguous impact on subsidies for soil erosion abatement.
