METHOD FOR REGULATING SNOW DEPOSITS FOR PROTECTING SOILS FROM EROSION ON SLOPES

摘要

FIELD: agriculture and forestry. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves creating system of drain regulating forest strips from first row of undersized brushes and 2-3 rows of trees on water catchment area (slope); forming forest strips of combined structure: in lower part of up to 0.3-0.5 m of dense structure, in middle part of from 0.3-0.5 m up to 2 m of blow-through structure, and in upper part above 2 m of openwork or dense structure. ^ EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing regulated snow deposition, prevention of soil from freezing-through, increased snow stocking in field, improved water-permeability of soil and reduced drainage and erosion. ^ 1 dwg, 2 tbl
