81. Soil: Erosion And Conservation
    Erosion and conservation of soil. Notice the difference in soil management between the farm on left, who uses fertiliser and the one on the right side  
    http://www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/erosion.htm
    
    Extractions: Everywhere in the world where people change a natural ecosystem into agriculture, the land degrades. The visible part is erosion, when soil particles leave the land, transported by gravity, water or wind. Some erosion is natural but present rates are more than worrying. Fortunately there are many ways to reduce erosion. Soil erosion and degradation are so severe world-wide, that it threatens our agricultural base. Soil can degrade without actually eroding. It can lose its nutrients and soil biota. It can get damaged by waterlogging and compaction. Erosion is the visible part of degradation, where soil particles are transported down-hill by the forces of gravity, water flow or wind. Erosionand degradation are world-wide problems. Soil erosion affects farming in detrimental ways. Physical damage is the most visible form of soil loss, and most likely to be remedied. Gravity pulls constantly at soil, nudging it down hill, causing soil slips, earth clips, cracks, creep and slumps. Ironically, the most damaging of rainfall is the impact with which water droplets hit the soil. From there on, the flow of water causes sheet-wash, rilling, surface gullying, tunnelling and in rivers it scours banks.

82. Soil
    The situation in New Zealand, regarding soils, erosion and conservation. (12 pages) Lal, R and FJ Pierce, eds soil management for sustainability. 1991.  
    http://www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/
    
    Extractions: Soil is not only our most important resource, but also the most maligned and misunderstood. The world population will double in a mere forty years, but agricultural output is not keeping up with demand. In the process, precious soil is lost, waterways and coastal seas polluted. Humans obviously need to be much more knowledgeable about this problem. What is soil? Where does it come from? What kinds of soil exist? Are all soils fertile? How does soil work? Can all places on the planet be farmed? How much food can the planet make? How do we lose soil? How can we prevent erosion? What damage is caused by erosion? What is sustainability? Can soil be farmed sustainably? What can we do? introduction Introduction to this section on soil and erosion. If you're in a hurry, read this first. (on this page, 4 pages) dependence The human race depends on its agricultural soil for food. As the population doubles and the soils degrade, it will become a race between technology and dwindling natural resources in order to save mankind. (9 pages) geology Soils originate from the cauldron of Earth and are recycled and redistributed by the conveyor belts of plate tectonics. Although basic elements are fairly evenly spread, the rocks that contain them, are not. Soil is formed very slowly from the bedrock, under influence of climate and life. (10 pages)

    Extractions: Department of Agricultural Engineering Crop-residue management through conservation tillage is one of the best and most cost-effective ways to reduce soil erosion. Conservation tillage and residue management may reduce machinery expenses and save soil, labor, fuel and money. Crop residues uniformly distributed over the soil surface will significantly reduce soil losses over an entire field. On terraced land, the resulting reduction in soil losses due to this residue cover can greatly reduce the cost of terrace maintenance.

Certain areas of New Zealand are now subject to accelerated mass movement, wind and water erosion, and degradation from unsustainable or inappropriate land management practices. Particular problems, of varying importance, include: land instability and mass movement erosion in hill and high country land in many parts of New Zealand, for example, severe mass movement in the East Coast region affecting about 285,000 hectares; land degradation in an at risk area of about 300,000 hectares of the tussock grasslands of the South Island high country, features of which are the losses of soil fertility, organic matter, structure and moisture retention capability;

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation November, 2002 by M.J. Shaffer Management of nitrogen (N) in agricultural settings has become critical for maintaining crop yields while controlling environmental pollution from nitrate ([NO.sub.3]-N) leaching, nitrous oxide ([N.sub.2]O) greenhouse gas emissions, ammonia ([NH.sub.3]) volatilization, and surface runoff of nutrients. The increased initial cost of N to producers has further emphasized the need for good on farm N management. The availability and use of models in N management has increased rapidly in the past 20 years worldwide (Shaffer and Ma 2001). Recent reviews have identified at least ten models in North America and eight models in Europe capable of simulating N cycling in cropped ... Want to read the whole article? You can

In addition, on this website you will find conservation related items that you may purchase. The Warren County (NY) Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a legal subdivision of state government responsible for wise use management and conservation of the soil and water resources within Warren County, New York. Warren County SWCD is one of 58 such districts in New York State and of over 3,000 such districts in the United States. The District is governed by a seven member Board of Directors who represent the Warren County Board of Supervisors, the public-at-large, and the Mohican Grange. To carry out its conservation programs, the District receives an annual budget from Warren County, some reimbursement from the State, and income from sales of trees, shrubs, and related items. Working with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), cost-share programs are available to help landowners implement conservation practices to improve their land. The ultimate goal of the District is to provide technical assistance, information, and services to the public regarding the management of natural resources, to achieve a working balance between the people and the land.
