## Abstract The soils of the South Downs in East Sussex, England (UK), are dominated by loessic silt (>70 per cent) and are prone to crusting. Continuing erosion of these soils means that they are thin, typically less than 25 cm thick and are becoming stonier, more droughty and less easier to work.
