Preventing Soil Erosion: Strategies for Sustainable Land Management Soil erosion, the process of soil being removed by wind, water, or other natural forces, poses a significant threat to agriculture and the environment. It depletes fertile topsoil, reduces agricultural productivity, and leads to sedimentation in water bodies. This article explores strategies for preventing soil erosion and promoting sustainable land management. Understand...

This paper discusses how the optical wavelength-based indices can be helpful in assessing soil wetness. Hope it is interesting.

Getting back to basic concepts is always welcome and needed! Which concept would you like review? I can gladly help!

Allhumdullilah I, m excited to share that my first article "Problematic Soil Management and Remediation " has been published.It's been an incredible journey dive into the article here https://lnkd.in/dJdPa3gb #WritingJourney

FASCINATING! This study investigates the long-term impact of #biochar on #soil erosion by analyzing century-old charcoal in kiln sites. Findings reveal that increased charcoal-C content reduces runoff and soil loss but doesn’t affect soil aggregate stability or interrill erodibility, suggesting biochar’s potential in #soilconservation. https://lnkd.in/ge4jEHpV

Four Soil Collection Methods That Actually Work Without taking the time to perform a soil analysis, it’s nearly impossible to determine what your soil needs to help your crops thrive. While it’s controversial to label any single soil collection method the best, there are four most commonly used methods that work well across most fields. Based on the pros and cons of each, you can determine which tools will help you collect soil samples the most efficiently on your farm. But before you can get into which type of collection process you want to implement, you first need to determine where you’re going to collect your samples. The area you pull your samples from may depend on soil type, topography and crops grown, or even management history. So the best practice for determining where to start is by using precision soil sampling techniques. Utilizing technology out in the field is the most efficient way to establish a baseline soil nutrient status, assess pH, and develop a smart soil management plan. Technology such as zone grid sampling will help determine the overall landscape of your field. Grid-based sampling is insightful if you are looking to establish the base points of a field’s soil health and create zones based on those insights. Zone-based sampling breaks your field up into smaller areas for sampling based on a specific feature such as color or texture. There are multiple methods to retrieve your soil samples, including the most common four: hand sampling, hydraulic probes, electric probes, and auger probes. Each of these comes with pros and cons. #soillab #foodsecurity #nature #soilsampling #soilhealth #climatesmartfarming #soilconservation Cheers.

5 Ways Soil Matting Can Help The Environment https://zurl.co/bYjV

This time we are concerned about sustenance in food production, and at the same time maintaining biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem services of natural resources. To achieve 17 SDGs of the United Nations, Soil and Water Conservation should be given top priority in the prevalent climatic anomaly related disaster management in all land uses. Because, application of suitable soil and water measures can reduce unusual anthropogenic pressure on natural resources including forests. So, present agricultural research and field works should be targeted on application of soil and water conservation methods in individual agricultural plots and further development of Soil and Water Conservation as a full-fledged stream of science. https://lnkd.in/gfNX4CjA https://lnkd.in/g-my6P6D
