Download or read book Productivity Effects of Cropland Erosion in the United States written by Pierre R. Crosson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970’s, agriculture in the United States seemed to be booming. With an extra demand for crops, extra acres were taken on to increase production which was predicted to increase further with an ever-growing population. However, concerns were beginning to be raised over the adequacy of land for crops as potential croplands began to be converted into urban areas as well as the effects of soil erosion decreasing the quality of these croplands. Originally published in 1983, this study investigates the threats to crop productivity in the U.S. with a focus on human-made problems. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies.

This book was released on 1940 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil erosion has caused widespread and serious damage in the southern Piedmont. Thousands of acres of good farm land have been stripped of their topsoil by sheet erosion or cut to pieces by advancing gullies. Fertile topsoil and, in recent years, subsoil from the bottoms of gullies have filled up stream channels and ponds, making swamps out of formerly productive bottom land and threatening the investments in large and small reservoirs. The problems created by this destructive process are recognized, and a comprehensive program of control is under way.
