Effects of Revegetation on Soil Organic Carbon Storage and Erosion-Induced Carbon Loss under Extreme Rainstorms in the Hill and Gully Region of the Loess Plateau.
BACKGROUND The Loess Plateau, an ecologically vulnerable region, has long been suffering from serious soil erosion. Revegetation has been implemented to control soil erosion and improve ecosystems in the Loess Plateau region through a series of ecological recovery programs. However, the increasing atmospheric CO₂ as a result of human intervention is affecting the climate by global warming, resu...
متن کاملAn overview of current and potential hill country livestock systems
This paper reviews current production trends for sheep and beef cattle production in New Zealand and gives some insight into the opportunities for improvement. The New Zealand climate favours pasture growth and this is the key to sheep and beef cattle production with over 95% of the diet being grazed pasture or crop. Exports are the focus of the industry with 92% of sheep meat and 82% of beef e...
متن کاملComparing Efficiency of Hill Slope Erosion Model (HEM) in Dry and Abandoned Land (Case Study: Khosbijan Research Center, Arak
Soil erosion and sediment yield from watersheds confine sustainable use of land resources and is supposed as one of the most critical environmental issues. Prediction of storm wise soil erosion and sediment yield is very important, especially in arid and semiarid regions due to small number of events and high intensity of rainfall. Evaluation of soil erosion by existing models is needed as an i...
متن کاملImpacts of Compost Blankets on Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Water Quality at Highway Construction Sites in Iowa
PREFACE This report summarizes the results of a three-year study sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the Iowa Department of Transportation. The primary objectives of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of using composted organics on highway construction sites to control storm water runoff and erosion, and to improve the growth of roadside vegetation. ACKNOWLEDGEM...
متن کاملRevegetation Priorities
Revegetation is a needed means of mitigating man-made and natural disturbance. Our current ability to address environmental insults contrasts sharply with that existing when John Muir fi rst sowed the roots of environmental awareness or Aldo Leopold and Hugh H. Bennett inspired a land ethic and a sense of stewardship. We now have considerable revegetation science and experience and—equally impo...
