Soil conservation techniques significantly reduce water erosion worldwide, study finds.
Soil conservation techniques help control water erosion worldwide. A study compared different techniques like planting trees, managing soil, and building structures. The results show that these techniques are effective in reducing soil and water loss. Planting trees is the best at reducing erosion, especially on croplands and orchards. The effectiveness of these techniques varies depending on the terrain and climate. In Brazil and Tanzania, the techniques work better than in the USA, China, and Europe.
