Description

Excerpt from Some Plant-Soil-Water Relations in Watershed Management This broad objective is generally acceptable, and few people disagree that such management is needed. However, few under stand the complex plant-soil-water relationships, both physical and biological, that underlie it. This publication describes some of these relationships, and indicates their practical significance with special reference to the protection and management of for est, brush, and range areas in the interest of their optimum long run service to present and future generations. The why's of the more significant effects of plant cover and cultural practices upon soil and water will especially be stressed. The authors believe such an approach to be essential because, although past research has emphasized - and to good advantage to what extent cover and culture affect soil and water behavior, it has neglected in great part the As a result, most research findings have applied only to the small plots or other limited areas on which the investigations were undertaken. This situation in turn has led to unnecessary duplication of investiga tive work in an effort to widen the areas of application. Also, some investigations, because they were founded on inadequate knowledge of the fundamental processes involved, have produced results which have appeared contradictory to those obtained from previous studies. Practical watershed management will be achieved only to the extent that it rests upon a thorough understanding of the funda mental natural processes which govern the behavior of soil, plants, and water. Fortunately, progress in the allied fields of soils and plant physiology, among others, and in the field of plant soil-water relations as a Whole, has provided some insight into these processes.
