PPT-Reducing soil erosion and sedimentation-related

problems represents a key requirement for mitigating the impact of climate change in the agricultural areas of the European Union where water erosion risk is expected to increase by about 80 by the year 2050. Soil erosion and sediment control is not a new technology The USDA Soil Conservation Service and a number of State and local agencies have been developing and promoting the use of erosion and sediment control devices for years This chapter provides Methods of soil conservation (ch3). The key aspects discussed in this chapter are:. Windbreaks. Contour ploughing. Stubble planting. Terraces. Stone walls. Reduce farming in dry weather. Windbreaks. Reforestation. in Poland.
