Land clearing and reclamation of ultisols and oxisols. Soil management CRSP bulletin
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:91390
In the humid tropics, inappropriate land clearing methods can degrade soils and render them unproductive; this is especially true of soils that are deficient in bases, such as Oxisols and Ultisols. This study presents results of experiments in Yurimaguas, Peru, and the Sitiung resettlement site in Sumatra, Indonesia, to (1) assess the impact on soil properties and plant response of various land clearing methods (slash-and burn, conventional, and improved bulldozing) used in the humid tropics, and (2) identify strategies for reclaiming lands that have been degraded.
