Book Synopsis Interventions on Soil Erosion and Loss of Plant Nutrients by : Govind Acharya
Download or read book Interventions on Soil Erosion and Loss of Plant Nutrients written by Govind Acharya and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents soil, water and nutrient conservation based on experiments conducted at different agro-ecological sites in the middle hills of Nepal. Sloping bari land cultivation system and low to medium rainfall , where farmers have adopted a maize-based cropping system occurred some erosive rain fall events and a heavy soil loss. Bench terracing cultivation system and high rainfall areas where main cropping systems were maize/millet, maize/wheat or barley and citrus orchards at medium rainfall areas lost higher amount of soil from narrow-terraces than the wide terraces. Ginger strip with mulch or legume alternating with maize strips across the slope reduced soil loss. Run-on diversion, grass planted in terrace risers reduced soil loss from bench terraces under high rainfall conditions. An inter crop of legume was found to reduce soil erosion in areas of medium rainfall and citrus cultivation. Organic carbon is the most important element lost in sediment. With low soil loss there was less loss of carbon, P and N in the sediment. However, there was a huge amount of NO3-N and K lost in leachate. Dissolved N, P and K were not lost in significant quantities in runoff.

Book excerpt: Soil erosion is a major environmental issue with a worldwide impact and direct and indirect effects on soil productivity and consequently on human survival. Although a natural process, soil erosion has increased significantly due to human intervention, especially in the last centuries, through diverse activities such as intensive agriculture, overgrazing, urban sprawl, deforestation, and industrial and mining activities. Presently, soil erosion and degradation promoted by human action have reached extreme levels, necessitating urgent measures to promote soil conservation and rehabilitation. This book presents perspectives on soil erosion occurring in different parts of the world as well as some successful initiatives and strategies for soil conservation and rehabilitation.

Book Synopsis Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.

Book Synopsis Continuous Plant Cover, the Key to Soil and Water Conservation (Classic Reprint) by : J. H. Stallings
Download or read book Continuous Plant Cover, the Key to Soil and Water Conservation (Classic Reprint) written by J. H. Stallings and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Continuous Plant Cover, the Key to Soil and Water Conservation For water-erosion control, plant cover serves as a springy cushion to intercept falling rain drops, thus preventing them from striking the. Ground surface before being relieved of their kinetic energy. This prevents them from tear ing the soil particles loose, to be carried away in the runoff water. The raindrops are also prevented from puddling and sealing the soil sur face. This enables the soil to maintain a high infiltration rate and reduces runoff. By maintaining a continuous supply of easily decomposable organic matter on the surface of the ground, plant cover produces and maintains good soil tilth. This is achieved by supplying, in the form of leachings, the humate fractions of organic colloids which are responsible for the production of aggregates or crumbs that are essential to good structure. Plant cover also keeps to an absolute minimum the loss of plant nutrients and soil organic matter by ero sion. By keeping erosion losses to negligible quantities, it is possible to hold the soil in place and build it up at the same time.

Book Synopsis Progress in Nitrogen Cycling Studies by : O. van Cleemput
Download or read book Progress in Nitrogen Cycling Studies written by O. van Cleemput and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the `8th Nitrogen Workshop' which was held at the University of Ghent, Belgium, from 5 to 8 September 1994. Although nitrogen dynamics in different ecosystems have been studied for several decades, new orientations and other emphases have recently emerged. Previously, nitrogen was considered as an essential element mostly in terms of productivity, but now, more emphasis is attached to environmental consequences. More than 100 contributions in this book tackle recent developments within the fields of nitrogen advice systems, plant response to fertilization, immobilization and mobilization, nitrification, denitrification, leaching, ammonia volatilization and biological nitrogen fixation. A large number of papers is devoted to the formation of gaseous nitrogen compounds, while mineralization-immobilization is another topic of important interest. The book also contains the reports of discussion groups on different aspects of the nitrogen cycle.
