Critical Analysis of the van Bemmelen Conversion Factor used to Convert Soil Organic Matter Data to Soil Organic Carbon Data
Converting soil organic matter (SOM) data to soil organic carbon (SOC) data usually uses the van Bemmelen factor of 0.58 (or in reverse its reciprocal of 1.724) as a universal conversion factor. The accuracy of this conversion factor has been questioned. Under the Kyoto Protocol (1997) dry combustion is recommended to provide reproducible analyses to measure soil carbon stocks. However, dry combustion equipment is expensive and entails high maint…
Agro-environmental Sustainability of the Yuanyang Rice Terraces of Yunnan Province, China
O povo de minoria Hani, da Província de Yunnan (sudoeste da China) desenvolveu um sistema complexo e sustentável agro-ambiental de arroz, plantado em terraços em Yuanyang ( 22°49'-23°19'N, 102°27-103°13'E). O povo de Hani tem mantido esse sistema intrincado e elaborado por mais de 1.300 anos, com aproximadamente 3.000 terraços cobrindo uma área de 11.000 hectares. Desta forma, durante a Dinastia Ming (1368-1644), o imperador deu ao povo de Hani o…
Land rehabilitation with the use of biological geotextiles, in two different countries
This paper assesses the role of biological geotextiles on non-agricultural erosion environments, based on studies in the mine tailings Gauteng Province (South Africa) and urban area of São Luis City (Brazil). Gauteng Province (South Africa) has suffered immense problems related to sustainable rehabilitation of mine dumps. This is a huge challenge, as wastes are highly susceptible to both water and wind erosion. Establishing a grass cover to reduc…
Soil erosion in Europe
The development of sustainble cropping systems in the highlands of South-East Asia
Soil conservation in the highlands of South-East Asia is essential for sustainable agro-environmental development. The effectiveness of soil conservation treatments developed in runoff plots was investigated in farmer-managed plots on a natural catchment. This was achieved by the development and scientific evaluation of modified and novel cropping practices in a representative highland catchment in Yunnan Province, China. Wang Jia Catchment cover…
Erosion of arable soils in Britain
Changing perspectives on erosion problems on British arable soils are reviewed. Current agricultural practices are increasing the magnitude and extent of soil erosion in Britain and other parts of Europe. Current trends in soil erosion research are examined, in particular recent field survey developments and the potential value of radar‐satellite based monitoring of erosive weather systems. More attention should be devoted to assessing levels of …
