Forest Watersheds provide timber and water, wildlife and fisheries habitat, and recreational opportunities. However, not an entire watershed is equally suited for each activity. Steeper slopes may be better left forested and used for wildlife habitat while more gentle slopes of the watershed could be used for timber production. Logging steep slopes can lead to soil erosion that can.seriously de...

Sistem agroforestri juga mengusahakan agar tercipta struktur pelapisan tajuk yang serapat mungkin tanpa mengurangi persaingan unsur hara dan sinar matahari antar sesama vegetasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu, Mengetahui jumlah besaran erosi pada sistem pengelolan lahan berbasis Agroforestri di sub DAS amprong desa gubugklakah kecamatan Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang. Penelitian dilaksanakan ...

Erosion process occurs naturally, shaping the Earth’s surface. Soil loss can cause harmful effects to environment when intensive anthropic activities occur. Mathematical models have been used as effective and less costly alternatives for identifying sites highly prone soil loss, especially at watershed scale. In Brazil, Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) is one of most commonly prediction ...

Soil loss is not limited to change from forest or woodland to other land uses/covers. It may occur when there is agricultural land-use/cover modification or conversion. Soil loss may influence loss of carbon from the soil, hence implication on greenhouse gas emission. Changing land use could be considered actually or potentially successful in adapting to climate change, or may be considered mal...
