But climate change has increased erosion along the coast, and some of these homes are dropping into the sea, said Ms. Bernier.

Livestock grazing can not only increase erosion through soil compaction and deforestation, but also introduces fertilizers.

Cutting down of coastal mangrove has also increased erosion, with negative effects on marine life.

Livestock grazing is a threat, but an indirect one, as it tends to increase erosion of the substrate.

When snow melts, it increases erosion and the amount of water being introduced into bodies of water.

The silt trapped in the reservoir also doesn't reach the coastal estuary which increases erosion along the coast.

Trail erosion is likely to increase because of recent intense thunder and rain storms, which have increased erosion.

But an increasing body of evidence suggests that this may be a dangerous window dressing that in the long term actually increases erosion.

Forestry operations themselves also increase erosion through the development of roads and the use of mechanized equipment.

The building of logging roads has also increased erosion in the watershed.
