Soil Conservation
Assessing the National Resources Inventory, Volume 1
by Committee on Conservation Needs and Opportunities, Board on Agriculture, National Research Council
Description
This new volume is the first independent analysis of an important national data base, the National Resources Inventory. It cites potential uses of the NRI in controlling soil erosion; determining land use; deciding conservation treatment; classifying soils; and protecting groundwater quality. Methods for soil conservation activities, ranging from the ranking of the lands most susceptible to erosion to the measurement and prediction of both wind and water erosion, are recommended throughout the volume.
