Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wind-Erosion Control Wind erosion is perhaps most active in arid and semiarid regions where the land surface is often dry and vulnerable to erosion and the protective vegetation is sparse or absent.' The wind may also move large quantities of soil material in humid regions; and, agriculturally considered, wind activity in such regions may be more important because of the greater value of much of the land affected. Today wind erosion is the most active, the most potent, depleter of soil fertility on most of the Great Plains as well as in other areas. It is one of the greatest natural hazards in the spring and winter wheat areas. Great Plains soils are noted for their high fertility; but this fertility, as in all soils, is largely bound up in the upper, humus-bearing zone. It has taken nature centuries to create this rich topsoil. To lose it during a storm or a series of storms is to lose for immediate crop production the fruit of nature's efforts for centuries. Soil blowing has become a greater problem in Plains agriculture as new areas have been brought into cultivation. This is not necessarily because the hard sweeping winds have become more intense, but because the natural vegetation has been removed and its beneficial effects on the soil have been destroyed. The greatest danger from soil blowing is in early spring, when the highest monthly velocities of the year are encountered and the land is most susceptible to blowing. Soil blowing may be serious any time of the year if not stopped by the use of appropriate con trol measures or prevented by a suitable cover of vegetation.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Control of Wind Erosion in the Sandy Lands of the Southern High Plains of Texas and New Mexico Wind erosion occurs when high winds come in contact with loose, unprotected soil. Particles of medium and fine sand begin to move across the soil surface in a series of bounces or by rolling or creeping. Where they strike unprotected soil they loosen other particles which are then swept across the ground surface and cause-still further erosion. Finer particles are sometimes carried high into the air and may float for days before settling. The damage done by wind erosion has serious short and long-term effects. The most notable short-term effect is that of reducing or eliminating stands of crops. One storm can completely destroy young cotton. A visible effect of erosion is the piling up of sand or silt on highways, railroad rights-of-way, and around buildings on farms and in urban areas. This material must be removed at great expense. Another visible effect of wind erosion is the duning of sand in cultivated fields, making them impractical to till for crop production. Perhaps the most serious effect of wind erosion, however, is sel dom noticed. This is the removal of clay and organic matter from sandy soils. The soil is left not merely more susceptible to wind erosion than before; the materials which are of major importance in storing and eventually releasing moisture and nutrients are gone from the plowed layer. The finer the texture, the more serious the loss, since organic matter (thus nitrogen) is stored in the surface 6 or 7 inches of the soil. Removal of a part or all of this horizon usually reduces the inherent productivity of the soil. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanics of Wind Erosion Differences in soil erodibility suggest that properties inherent in' the soil and those brought about by land use-especially cultivation and other man-made disturbances - play an important part in the wind erosion process. Wind erosion is dependent directly on the phys ical character and condition of the soil. Only dry soils are moved. Wet or damp soils are not appreciably affected. The structure of the soil in an air-dry state is, therefore, a much more reliable index of erodibility than the structure in a wet state.

Download or read book Mulches for Wind and Water Erosion Control Classic Reprint written by U. S. Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mulches for Wind and Water Erosion Control This report deals with procedures for establishing various kinds of protective mulch and for establishing and maintaining permanent vegetation. The word mulch means any substance, such as straw, hay, paper, gravel, organic or inorganic film, brush Spread upon the ground, or produced and killed or allowed to die and left on the ground as a stubble mulch, or formed and left on the ground as a layer of clods or dust, for the purpose of protecting the soil from erosion or the plants from heat, cold, or drought. The limitation on what is called a mulch is not the kind of material from which it is derived but that it be dead when left or placed on the ground. On the other hand, the term permanent vegetation means perennial vegetation such as grasses, shrubs, or trees growing on the land. Perma nent vegetation is a living cover, whereas mulch is a dead cover. A mulch may be tempo rary such as dead vegetation, or permanent such as a layer of stones or gravel. This report includes information on stabilization of level and sloping ground, but not waterways The information was obtained in part from a series of experiments started in 1959 on contract with the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Department of the Navy. Explanations of various research procedures and data pertaining to the contracted series of experiments are contained in other reports 9, A portable wind tunnel was used to determine the effectiveness of the various mulching treatments under field conditions (fig. Limited information also was obtained on the relative effectiveness of some of the treatments against erosion by water. From results of the wind tunnel tests, the wind erosion climatic factor (4) and the universal wind erosion equation (1) were used to estimate the relative quantities of mulch required in various sections of the United States. An effective wind erosion control treatment is considered as one that will resist an 85-mile-per-hour wind as measured at so-foot height.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Conservation Districts for Erosion Control This new appreciation of the partnership that exists between farmer or rancher and society has found expression in the passage of State soil conservation districts laws. Since january 1, 1937, the legislatures of 22 States have passed laws providing for the creation of soil conservation districts. Bills providing for similar laws are being considered for introduction in the legislatures of other States. The Department is vitally interested in the passage of such legislation by the States; In its long experience with con servation programs, whether they dealt with the soil, the forests, the range, or wildlife, the Department has found that the problems of conservation invariably are closely bound up with the right use of land. F armers and ranchers, of whom there are more than 6 million, control the use of most of the arable land in the United States. The Department, cooperating With the States, welcomes an opportunity to work with farmers and ranchers through the cooperating groups which the soil conservation districts laws permit farmers and ranchers to organize.
