Future changes in climate and atmospheric CO² concentration will change the hydrologic cycle, affecting important soil-plant-water interactions, which in turn affect soil erosion rates. Climate and CO² changes can be estimated with global circulation models (GCMs). Mathematical models are also available for simulating soil erosion as affected by weather and soil-plant-water interactions. Three major soil erosion models, including Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) (formely the Erosion-Productivity Impact Calculator); Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP).
