Evaluation of Soil Conservation Measures

Factors Affecting the Adoption of Conservation Measures in Soil Erosion Control: A Case of Orchard Lands of Chehel-Chay Watershed

1- INTRODUCTION Soil as one of the most important inputs in agricultural production process plays an important role in the quality of production operation, food security and sustainable development. On the other hand, soil erosion as one of the environmental agriculture issues has been intensified with increasing population and transforming to intensive forms of agriculture in recent years. Mi...

Temporal and Spatial Evaluation of Soil Conservation Policies

This paper presents estimates of the benefits and costs of alternative soil conservation policies in a spatially and temporally consistent framework. The policies considered are implementation of soil conservation practices with an objective of reducing erosion to a site’s tolerance level and a policy with an objective of a voluntary 50% reduction in conventional tillage. Costs and erosion bene...

Soil Erosion and Conservation

Conservation measures continue

Efforts to protect some marine environments and species are growing.

Hydrological Effects of Water and Soil Conservation Measures in Loess Plateau

Taking the two typical tributaries in the loess plateau as an example, the hydrological effects of water and soil conservation measures were studied with parallel comparative analysis method. The results show that water and soil conservation measures can reduce annual runoff and sediment module, cut down flood peak discharge and lower sediment concentration efficiently. And meanwhile, it also c...
