Modern innovative and unconventional methods to combat soil erosion

摘要

One of the reasons for the decline in agricultural land is soil degradation processes. The main negative processes occurring in soils and leading to their degradation are erosion (water and wind) and a decrease in the humus content in the soil. A significant spread of negative processes developing as a result of the action of natural and anthropogenic factors leads to a critical decrease in soil fertility. The washout of the upper fertile soil layer and the formation of large gullies due to improper soil treatment results in soil erosion. In order to prevent soil erosion, it is necessary to take measures to prevent an increase in the area of degraded land. The paper discusses modern innovative methods of combating water and wind soil erosion. Various examples of the application of modern innovative methods in different countries are presented.
