Conservation scientists and foresters manage, develop, use, and help to protect these and other natural resources. Foresters Throughout the forest management and procurement processes, foresters consider the economics as well as the environmental impact on natural resources. To do this, they determine how to conserve wildlife habitats, creek beds, water quality, and soil stability, and how best to comply with environmental regulations. Foresters must balance the desire to conserve forested ecosystems for future generations with the need to use forest resources for recreational or economic purposes.

67. Soil Management & Watershed Planning
    Availability of improved design of watershed models, and better engineering practices in stormwater management and soil conservation. CONCLUSION.  
    http://www.eeeee.net/sd06071.htm
    
    Extractions: Soil management is about protecting our waterways and is fundamental to the well-being of a watershed. Sound soil management encourages the natural function of a watershed ^ supporting the biological, chemical, and physical systems linked through the soil in such a way that any change in soil structure causes a change in water and other resources. The goal is to apply techniques and practices that improve the structure and infiltration ability of soils, thus reducing the detrimental impact of land-use on soil health, water quality, and the health of the ecosystem. The emphasis of soil management is on managing rainfall at the point of impact. Water quality issues must be addressed as soon as a raindrop hits the soil. The porous nature of healthy soil gives it the ability to act like a sponge, allowing much of the rainfall to infiltrate, thus limiting runoff quantities and providing treatment of storm water as it seeps into the ground. Rainfall infiltrates slowly to recharge groundwater supplies. The rate of water flow through the soil is much less than that of water running off the soil surface. Therefore, precipitation that filters through the soil is slower to discharge to surface waters. Runoff from compacted soils, on the other hand, is quicker, with higher peak flows. Less water is infiltrated, which reduces base flow conditions. This could result in structures such as bridges and culverts being under-designed and could pose profound economic and environmental impact.

    Extractions: Note: This is the second in a series of forestry-related articles to promote proper forestry practices, forestry education, and forestry extension. The series will also speak to some of the misconceptions about forestry. Forestry activities, particularly harvesting, can have serious consequences on soil and water quality. Any good forester is concerned about these impacts. Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing. These measures are known as Best Management Practices or BMPs. Any activities that involve heavy machinery on mountainous or rolling terrain require cutting roads. Skid roads are used to move logs from stump to log desk by bulldozers and skidders (specially adapted, articulated four-wheel drive tractors). Haul roads are used to move logs from the log deck to the public road. When the roads are built, bare mineral soil is exposed. When soil is exposed, soil or sediment can be moved by the force of water. When sediment moves, it moves toward a stream. The purpose of implementing Best Management Practices is to minimize soil movement, particularly movement into a stream.

Beneficial Practices Biodiversity Our Approach Habitat Conservation Species Conservation Beneficial Practices You are here: PFRA Online Healthy Soils Caring for our soil resources is becoming increasingly critical as the supply of dependable agricultural land decreases from competition by other uses, such as urban development. Healthy soils are key to producing good harvests of crops, and minimizes expenses such as fertilizer and pest control. If we let agricultural soils become degraded, there will be no new soil to take its place. Although progress has been made in improving the health of some of our agricultural soils, soil degradation remains a serious concern today. PFRA has determined that more than 50% of annually cropped fields are exposed to erosion by wind, water and tillage each year on the Prairies. Extreme weather events, such as high winds, heavy rains, and consecutive years of drought can cause significant erosion damage and loss of soil productivity . New solutions are needed to further reduce soil degradation on the Prairies. Maintaining and improving soil quality will provide economic benefits in the form of increased productivity, more efficient use of nutrients and pesticides, improvement in water and air quality and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

    Extractions: Ever heard of a "watershed"? Despite the fact that we all live in a watershed , most of us don't know the actual meaning of the word. Put simply, a watershed is all the land that drains into a given body of water. This body of water can be a creek, pond, river or ocean. Generally speaking, the larger the body of water, the larger its watershed. The Chesapeake Bay watershed, for example, covers 64,000 square miles and drains from six states including 60 percent of Virginia. The map above depicts the Old Dominion's major river watersheds (there are 497 subwatersheds). One thing all of these watersheds have in common is people, and where you have people, you have land altering activity. When we alter land - to farm, to build, to landscape, for transportation - we must take care to make sure our land use changes aren't causing runoff pollution problems for either other people or plants and animals downstream that depend on clean, usable water. The technical term for this form of pollution is

Virginia Agricultural BMP Photo Album (PDF) Virginia Agricultural BMP Manual (PDF) Database Query Page The need: Virginia's soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) are interested in nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. This pollution is so named because it doesn't come from a single point, such as a sewage outfall or industrial discharge pipe. NPS pollution isn't readily traced to a specific source. But it still contributes excess nutrients, pesticides, sediment, heavy metals and toxic substances to our waters. Sources of NPS pollution are many, but one of the most significant is agriculture. Because agriculture requires many acres, its potential impact on water quality is great. For example, one EPA study estimates that 27 percent of the phosphorus and 60 percent of the nitrogen entering the Chesapeake Bay originate from cropland. These pollutants need to be controlled in order to protect the environment. The solution: The farm community has a tradition of being stewards of the land. By managing it wisely, farmers have made food both inexpensive and abundant in this country. SWCDs wish to help strengthen this ethic.

    http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/fieldcrops/g544.htm
    
    Extractions: Figure 1. Effect of residue cover on reduction of soil erosion. The example shows that a 20 percent residue cover will reduce erosion by 50 percent of that occurring from a cleanly tilled field. Crop residue is increasingly being used as a major tool to reduce the loss of one of Nebraska's most valuable resourcesits topsoil. Soil erosion and the subsequent sedimentation have been identified as major water quality problems in the state. Residue reduces soil erosion caused by both wind and water. However, this NebGuide deals mainly with soil erosion caused by water since it accounts for 80 percent of Nebraska's soil loss. Today, with an increasing need to evaluate and reduce production costs, residue management through conservation tillage has become an important element in farm management. Conservation tillage includes a variety of tillage and planting systems that leave at least a 20 to 30 percent residue cover on the soil surface after planting. Research conducted in Nebraska and other Midwestern states has shown that maintaining this minimum residue cover can reduce soil erosion by at least 50 percent of that which occurs from a cleanly tilled field (

    Extractions: Description of Course Activities Students take crop residue measurements on a producers field near Victoria, KS. Residue is important in keeping soil on the field and preventing sheet and reel erosion from occurring. Students determine whether or not there is enough crop residue on the field and if the producer is in compliance with the NRCS Office. Students view a field with severe erosion and note that nearly all of the top soil has been eroded away, primarily due to poor farming practices. Students note underlying heavy clay where sever erosion has formed a gully through a producers field. They discuss possible conservation measures to correct the situation. Course Content Introduction Erosion Control Methods (Cultivated Land) Erosion Control Methods (Non-cultivated Land) Economics of Soil Conservation Legislation There are 3 hour exams, plus an extensive soil management project = 1 1/2 exams. Students are exposed to conservation measures and problems throughout the semester, and are then assigned a tract of land where they design a complete conservation plan. Students work in groups of 2-3 students/group.
