Domain-specific¶
- Soil formation
- Geologist David Montgomery, synthesizing global data in Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (2007), documented that soil under conventional tillage agriculture typically erodes at rates one to two orders of magnitude faster than it forms — losses of roughly 1 mm per year or more against formation of hundredths of a millimetre per year
This sourceMontgomery's book-length synthesis of soil erosion across civilizations, which argues that ploughed societies consume their soil faster than it forms; the numerical rates the sentence quotes are stated precisely in his companion PNAS paper of the same year.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
