Examples of autoimmune diseases include: 1  Rheumatoid arthritis. The immune system produces antibodies that attach to the linings of joints. 2  Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). People with lupus develop autoimmune antibodies that can attach to tissues throughout the body. 3  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Preventing and managing erosion. Programs to control erosion in Queensland began in the 1950s and have been very successful. The 3 main principles to control erosion are to: use land according to its capability. protect the soil surface with some form of cover. control runoff before it develops into an erosive force.
The most effective way to prevent erosion is to protect soil from rain and wind by covering it with plants and/or decaying organic matter. While industrial farms lose tons of soil because of intensive tillage (plowing), sustainable farmers have successfully reduced erosion by adopting conservation tillage techniques.
