Swartland and Sandveld – W.J. Talbot

Description

– A survey of land utilization and soil erosion in the Western Lowland of the Cape Province –

Virgin soils are traditionally fertile. Why do they become less fertile and more susceptible to erosion when misused? How are fertility, soil structure, erodibility interrelated ? When and where are erosion hazards greatest ? Why are the least obvious initial form of soil erosion most serious? These are some of the questions answered in lucid, ton-technical answers.
