Domain-specific¶
- Soil formation
- Formation rate is asymmetric with loss rate: typical mineral soil accumulates at 0.01–0.1 mm per year but can be lost to erosion at orders of magnitude higher rates, making soil a quasi-non-renewable resource on human timescales
This sourceMontgomery's global compilation, which puts erosion under conventional plow agriculture at roughly 1 mm/yr and one to two orders of magnitude above rates of soil production, fast enough to strip a hillslope profile within the lifespan of a civilization.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. 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.
