RENEWABLE RESOURCES

“Renewable” depends on context

Ex: An _________tree can be re-grown, but a __________ of trees in an ecosystem may NOT be replaceable

“Renewable” depends on context

Ex:

“_____________” forests

home to many

species that don’t

live in other

types of forests

LAND RESOURCESLand resources include __________

which is a ______________ resource

if managed properly.

____________is made of sand, clay, rock, and _________(decayed organisms) and is

produced and maintained by interactions between soil and plants growing in it.

SOIL

LAND RESOURCES

Wearing away of topsoil = ____________ is caused by plowing land and removing plant rootsSoil erosion

http://coweeta.ecology.uga.edu/coweeta_photographs/erosion.htm

LAND RESOURCES

___________________ = changing of fertile land in dry climates into desert areas caused by farming, overgrazing, and drought

Desertification

http://www.the-human-race.com/images/environment/drought.jpg

Cover CropsLegumes, grasses, and othercover crops recycle soil nutrients,reduce fertilizer need, andprevent weed growth.

Controlled GrazingBy managing graze periods and herddensities, farmers can improve nutrientcycling, increase the effectiveness ofprecipitation, and increase the carryingcapacity of pastures.

Biological Pest ControlThe use of predators and parasitesto control destructive insectsminimizes pesticide use as well ascrop damage

Contour PlowingContour plowing reduces soil erosion from land runoff. On hilly areas, plowing is done across the hill rather than straight up and down.

Crop RotationDifferent crops use and replenish different nutrients. By rotating crops, the loss of important plant nutrientsis decreased.
