Spatial patterns of soil erosion and deposition can be inferred from differences in ground elevation mapped at appropriate time increments. Such changes in elevation are related to changes in near-surface soil carbonates. Repeatable methods for field and laboratory measurements of these quantities and data analysis methods are described here.

Streambank erosion potential can be evaluated and ranked using David Rosgen’s Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI), however this protocol has significant limitations. Here we present protocol modifications to address time constraints, allow nonprofessionals to complete accurate assessments, and account for non-alluvial stream conditions in Northeast Ohio.

The Rub&Roll can mimic the chewing cycle, allowing variation of chewing force, sliding distance, chewing velocity, number of cycles, and frequency, and with a combination of erosive and abrasive challenges can result in a complex simulation of oral ageing.

Characterizing erosion from dendrogeomorphology has usually focused on accurately finding the starting time of root exposure, by examining macroscopic or cell level changes caused by exposure. Here, we offer a detailed description of different novel techniques to obtain more precise erosion rates from highly accurate microtopographic data.

Accuracy is a major demand in dental medicine. To verify accuracy, reference scanners are needed. This article presents a new reference scanner with an adjusted scanning method to acquire a broad variety of dental morphologies with high trueness and precision.
FAQs
The comparison must account for the surface’s condition before and after exposure. Measuring the same area under standardized conditions helps identify changes that exceed normal variation rather than interpreting every visible difference as damage. This approach is especially important when evaluating tooth enamel, where small structural changes may otherwise be difficult to separate from baseline differences.
Standardized imaging documents surface appearance, while profilometry measures changes in surface profile. Using consistent measurement methods makes results more comparable across time points and experimental conditions. Together, these approaches can provide quantitative evidence of material loss and help researchers assess whether acidic or other erosive exposure produced a measurable alteration.
Acidic conditions provide a controlled way to examine how tooth enamel responds to an erosive challenge. Comparing enamel before and after such exposure allows investigators to evaluate the extent of surface change and differences in susceptibility. The resulting measurements can also reveal whether a protective intervention reduces the observed loss under the tested conditions.
By applying comparable erosive conditions to different samples or time points, investigators can compare the amount of surface change. Greater measured loss may indicate higher susceptibility, whereas smaller changes may suggest a protective effect. This design supports assessment of preventive or restorative interventions without relying only on visual impressions of tissue condition.
A study generally records the surface before exposure, applies the specified acidic or other erosive condition, and measures the surface again afterward. Standardized imaging, profilometry, or a related method is then used to compare the two states. The resulting change provides a quantitative basis for evaluating tissue damage or intervention performance.
Researchers use this approach in clinical monitoring, laboratory investigations of disease mechanisms, and development of treatments intended to preserve hard-tissue structure and function. It can track changes over time, compare responses under controlled conditions, and test whether preventive or restorative interventions limit surface loss. These applications connect measurable structural change with clinically relevant tissue preservation.
The measurement indicates whether an intervention changes the amount of surface loss produced by an erosive condition. Comparing treated and untreated surfaces, or pre-intervention and post-intervention results, can show whether the intervention has a protective effect. This quantitative evidence helps evaluate candidate strategies designed to preserve tooth enamel or other relevant hard tissues.
It supplies measurable evidence for studying how hard tissues respond to erosive conditions and for tracking the progression of structural damage. In tooth enamel research, these data can support comparisons of susceptibility, protective responses, and treatment performance. The measurements also help relate laboratory findings to clinical monitoring and efforts to maintain tissue structure and function.
