这篇文章论述了过去十年中发展迅速且对土壤侵蚀控制和农业水文学具有主要影响的两个差别悬殊的研究领域.一个领域介绍了水土保持耕作法,这种方法包括许多在耕作期间只最少地扰动土壤,并在土壤上维持植被覆盖度或作物残茬的耕作系统。水土保持耕作法已被证明是一种控制侵蚀的有效措施.它在许多地方已经代替了象梯田这样的传统控制土壤侵蚀的措施,或者使传统的控制土壤侵蚀的措施更加有效.在最近的研究中,水土保持耕作法已表明可改进渗透和减少径流,因而也可改善河流的水文特征。 This article discusses two areas of research that have developed rapidly over the past decade and have had the most significant impact on soil erosion control and agricultural hydrology: One area where soil conservation farming practices are introduced, includes many that only Minimize soil disturbance and maintain crop coverage or cropping systems on the soil. Soil and water conservation farming practices have proven to be an effective measure to control erosion, which has in many places replaced the traditional measures of controlling soil erosion such as terraces, or made the more effective measures to control soil erosion more recent. , The soil and water conservation farming practices have shown to improve infiltration and reduce runoff and thus also improve the hydrological characteristics of rivers.
