“…In addition, the pace of “erosion”, resilience, sensitivity and susceptibility to stress, and the possibility of irreparable harm are all affected by climate change (Watson et al, 1998). Owing to the current “globalizing economy,” there are now more obstacles to the sustainable use of land at the local and global levels due to changes in land usage and increased expectations from markets and fragile landscapes (Jha & Kapat, 2011). But modelling of land degradation and erosion is still confusing in various research outcomes (Miller, 2011, pp.…”

Climate change has an effect on ecosystems and people all around the globe and causes land degradation. A long‐term decline in biological output, loss of ecological integrity, and a fall in the economic worth of the land are all signs of “land degradation”, a downbeat trend in land condition. In the red lateritic zone of the tropical area, where “climate change” and “land degradation” are related, they impact one another. On the other hand, due to the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which slow the rate of carbon absorption, and the extent of various existing land degradation processes, which are worsened in pace and magnitude by “climate change”. The world's expanding population poses a challenge to supplying the rising demand for food in recent decades. The need for additional land for farming, feed, and other forms of production is fuelled by poverty and the destruction of the environment. In tropical regions, “soil erosion” caused by “water and wind, salinization and alkalinity, acidity, losses of organic carbon, nutrient imbalance, pollution/contamination by toxic substances, and soil sealing and capping” all call for immediate action to stop the land degradation process and sustainably restore productivity for environmental security and food security for the world's expanding population. After fulfilling the requirement systematic knowledge about soil, scientific use of natural resources (water, land, minerals, vegetation, air and biodiversity) will present a healthy planet with a healthy ecological system for future generations.

“…Birbhum district is belonging to several morphological processes, i.e., weathering, mass wasting, and river erosional process (Mondal 2013). Degraded lateritic soils occupied a large area of this district containing oxides of irons and aluminum (Jha and Kapat 2011). Different morphometric analyses and geospatial and multivariate statistical techniques have been adopted by various scholars to identify the gully erosion impact areas of Birbhum district.…”

The present study focuses on the identification of the intensity and susceptibility of gully erosion and induced soil erosion in the selected areas of Birbhum district of West Bengal, India. The geospatial techniques have been employed using the meticulous remotely sensed satellite data of Birbhum district. The composite gully erosion susceptibility maps have been prepared based on the aggregation of the normalized values of each indicator using factor analysis of the year 2001. It reveals from the maps that Rampurhat-I and Bolpur-Santiniketan blocks of Birbhum district have faced an excessive loss of lateritic soil cover mostly by the gully erosion during the monsoon season concerning the relationship between soil erosivity and other factors. About 23.45 percent and 20.59 percent area of the total area under Rampurhat-I and Bolpur-Santiniketan blocks are under gully erosion susceptibility zones. The LULC and landholding sizes are despoiled with an increasing rate of soil erosion in the gully areas during the study period. The identification of gully erosion hot spot areas, intensity mapping, and accurate prediction will help to formulate highly insightful, well-developed strategies for adaptation of imperative planning to rectify the soil loss, and soil degradation and assist in eco-efficient agriculture and improves the agri-environmental conditions.
