Most Oregon soils begin to lose their ability to support plants when they erode more than 5 tons of soil per acre each year. This usually occurs through a process called sheet erosion, the gradual wearing away of a thin layer or "sheet" of soil. Since 10 tons of soil lost per acre equals the thickness of a dime, sheet erosion can be very hard to see!
