Site one, which was on the North side of the road, was conducted on a dry hillside slope that was clear of trees and faced the sun all day. This site has soil that was a mixture of red clay and sandy dirt which was thinner due to erosion as well as causing faster run off. Land here resembled a pasture that had been overgrazed and never a chance to recover. Site two at Cox Lake was more of a flat prairie grassland (Southside of road), which doesn't face all day full sun. The soil here was similar in composition with the hillside except the grasses were more plentiful on the flatland.
The sweet potato industry, although a high value industry, is becoming increasingly competitive. This underlines the importance of efficiency in minimising the loss of valuable soil. Large amounts of rainfall can result in the loss of soil on cultivated farmland. The loss of soil does not just affect the farmers it also affects the community The aim of the project was to increase awareness of soil health and to develop the best soil management practices for the Cudgen plateau. Figure [ 2 ] Water Way On the Cudgen Plateau, three adjoining landholders implemented soil conservation measures and strategies.
It can survive frosted soil and is partial to loose soil, but adapts in otherwise less favorable conditions. This is especially apparent in the PH of the soil. Kudzu survives ph in soil that registers from
They damage the gastrointestinal tract, heart and liver. There is no known antidote for African rue poisoning, but treatment recommendations include rest, clean water and high quality feed. (Wargo) The African rue is native to Africa and southern Asia. I haven't found definite answers to validate if these plants cause problems in their native lands. I would think some of the health risk involved with this plant will be the same in its native land.
The water is not easily absorbed into the clay because it is harder for the water to enter the pores. Soil type and texture are very important to farmers. Too little water in the soil may cause plants to wilt and die. Too much water in the soil can disrupt a plant's ability to take in oxygen. Based on your data, which type of soil do you think is best for agriculture?
This poor soil attracted very few immigrants. Summers were hot, and winters were bitterly cold. Forests were cleared to grow staple crops such as corn, squash, and barley, however, livestock had to be brought to supplement the New England diet. The fish, fur, shipbuilding and lumber industries thrived in New England colonies. Creative ways to solve problems because of this region’s barren soil keyed the term “Yankee Ingenuity.” The Triangular Trade is an example of this.
AMISH The Amish Culture Linda Mann ANT 101 Patricia Ryan September 2, 2012 AMISH The Amish are horticulturalists. The Amish society is a subculture. Their lifestyle is centered on agriculture. I am going to analyze how horticulture as the Amish’s primary mode of subsistence affects their beliefs and values, economic organization, social organization and kinship. The Amish ways of life are very distinct.
Most savanna grass is coarse and grows in tufts with intervening patches of bare ground. Scattered, individual trees or small groves of trees are common. Trees do not dominate the biome because the small amount of high sun rainfall is not enough to sustain such
Since it is a plant it will help reduce the “green house” gases and pollution in the air, not to mention making a cleaner burning fuel source to replace gasoline and reduce the amount of pollution even more. The plant also does not take much soil space and can be grown in between other crops such as corn. Hemp as long roots so that it improves soil structure and replenishes soil with nutrients and nitrogen and helps control erosion of topsoil. Also, once harvested, any residue can act as eco-friendly manure. It is also a weed suppresser to prevent other weeds from growing because it grows so fast and densely, it blocks out sunlight to other weeds that are trying to grow.
