Abstract
Soil erosion and climate change are two pressing problems affecting both developed and developing countries across the globe. In the case of the Philippines, these two environmental problems are of great importance. The island of Marinduque in the Philippines is identified as one of the soil erosion hotspots in the country. Previous soil erosion modeling studies in the province have shown that a large portion of the province is at risk of soil erosion. This chapter aims to assess potential changes in erosion risk in the province under future climate change conditions. Based on the results, varying changes but most increase in annual rainfall is projected for the province of Marinduque under future climate conditions. These projected increases in annual rainfall have resulted in an increase in erosion rates, especially in barren lands and areas with steep slopes of the province.
