Soil-Landscape Rehabilitation with Dr. Sharon Schneider
Episode 111
Thursday, 18 April, 2024
“Key soil properties and their relationships with crop yields as affected by soil-landscape rehabilitation” with Dr. Sharon Schneider. Soil erosion is one of the major issues in agriculture that causes loss of the topsoil layer, reducing soil health and crop productivity. There are several ways to check soil erosion and its impacts on crop and soil health. One of the potential strategies to reduce the effect of past soil erosion is to reverse the soil erosion process by moving soil from where it was deposited by erosion to where soil was lost by erosion. In this episode, Dr. Sharon Schneider shares her research on replacing topsoil in eroded landscapes. Tune in to learn more about · What are the impacts of soil erosion on crop productivity and soil properties? · What are strategies for reducing soil erosion? · What is the importance of soil organic carbon? · Soil and crop benefits of replacing topsoil in eroded landscapes If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s papers are available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.21428 https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20635 These papers are always freely available.
