Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing soil conservation practices, a critical concern in the early 20th century. The author, a leading soil scientist, meticulously outlines a framework for surveying and classifying land based on its physical characteristics, such as soil type, slope, and degree of erosion. This framework, rooted in the scientific understanding of soil degradation, offers a systematic approach to land management, encompassing the crucial link between physical factors and the most suitable land use for sustainable agriculture. The book delves into the nuances of soil degradation, exploring the distinction between normal (geologic) erosion and accelerated erosion, the latter caused by human activities, and its detrimental impact on agricultural productivity. Through detailed explanations and illustrations, the author provides a powerful tool for policymakers and farmers to effectively plan and implement land use strategies that safeguard the future of the land. This insightful work highlights the vital importance of understanding the physical landscape in order to ensure the long-term health and productivity of our land resources.
