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.
Erosion is a natural process, though it is often increased by humansâ use of the land. Deforestation, overgrazing, construction, and road building often expose soil and sediments and lead to increased erosion. Excessive erosion leads to loss of soil, ecosystem damage, and a buildup of sediments in water sources.
