South Africa - Soil Types, Climate, Regions: South Africa contains three major soil regions. East of approximately longitude 25° E, soils have formed under wet summer and dry winter conditions; the more-important soil types there are laterite (red, leac
The results showed for the areca land use, that soil conservation with ridges + maize produced the lowest erosion (1.68 t/ha). For cocoa land use, the ridges + groundnut treatment produced the lowest erosion (8.2 t/ha). For oil palm land use, the cover crop of Mucuna bracteata had ...
The state governments, farmers’ organisations, collectives and cooperatives, educational institutions and conservation groups need to work together for regulating and reducing farming related soil pollution. Planning the application of fertilizer at the right time, in the right quantity with the correct ...
The larger, deeper lakes are a significant factor within the cycle of water—from rain to surface water, ice,soilmoisture, or groundwater and thence to water vapour. These lakes receive thedrainagefrom vast tracts of land, store it, pass it on seaward, or lose it to theatmospherebyevaporati...

Soil Conservation India’s natural landscape and geographical location make it blessed with a different variety of soils in different regions. Moreover, each of these soils yields plants endemic to the region they are found in. However, drastic farming and mass production lead to heavy soil ero...
There are two types of biodiversity conservation methods: In-situ conservation Ex-situ conservation 1. In situ Conservation In situ conservation refers to the conservation of species in their natural ecosystem or natural habitat. It involves protecting and maintaining the natural environment or ecosystem...
Soils are necessary for the growth of commercial crops of food and fibre. They also play an essential role in biogeochemical cycles, acting as sinks and sources of greenhouse gases, and in 关键词: models, cartografí a, sistemas de informació n, soil types, systè me d'...
Fertilizer, natural or artificial substance containing the chemical elements that improve growth and productiveness of plants. Fertilizers enhance the natural fertility of the soil or replace chemical elements taken from the soil by previous crops.
Earthworms are small, soil-dwelling invertebrates sensitive to the pH, waterlogging, compaction, rotation, tillage, and organic matter, all of which are good biological indicators of soil health. Earthworms can be found in nearly every type of soil on the planet, as long as the moisture and ...
