Résumé
Soil erosion has been associated with various negative environmental impacts foremost of which is the potential pressure it could impose on global food security. The poor conditions of our agricultural soil can be attributed to years of unsustainable farming practices occurring throughout history that has placed significant pressure on the environment. Moreover, climate change scenarios indicate further intensification which is likely making prediction and assessment of erosion processes critical for long term agricultural sustainability. This study demonstrates the potential of mobile gamma-ray spectrometry with large volume NaI(Tl) detectors to identify, at high spatial resolution, changes in
