最佳实践的简短描述

The vetiver grass is planted on the contour and also in other situations such as along stream banks and minor farm roads to form a vegetative barrier and protect the land from surface erosion.

地点

Kwazulu Natal Province, South Africa|

如果该位置有明确的边界，请以公顷为单位说明其延伸范围。:

100.0

居住在该地区的估计人口:

指定地点内的自然环境简介。

Semi-Arid, Sub-humid|
A very prominent characteristic of this province is the deeply cut parallel valleys and ridges formed by a large number of short, fast-flowing rivers which can be seen as the result of a large variation in altitude over a very short distance.|
Sandy loam soils which are easily erodable due to nature of slopes

居住在该地点及/或附近居民的普遍社会经济状况

Most income received from cropland with 10% income from off-farm.
Most people are dependant on agriculture.
Land ownership is mostly individual with communage grazing land, cropland and Sugar Cane plantation.|

The protection and rehabilitation of land susceptible to erosion  

最佳实践解决的主要问题

Land degradation caused by soil erosion, removal of vegetation cover and reduction of water runoff|

概述最佳实践解决的具体土地退化问题

Land degradation caused by soil erosion, removal of vegetation cover and reduction of water runoff |

具体说明最佳实践的目标

To restore the mined area to something approaching its former condition allowing it to again be used for extensive grazing.

按目标对主要活动进行简要的描述

Land management measures through land restoration and improved soil cover.

本技术的简要说明和技术规范

The vetiver grass is planted on the contour and also in other situations such as along stream banks and minor farm roads to form a vegetative barrier and protect the land from surface erosion.
Vetiver grass is planted as vegetative barrier on the contour at 5m vertical interval down slope of more than 10% in lines about 10m long.

具体说明:

Word of Mouth

描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

Increased crop yield due to increased soil moisture and improved soil cover.
Improved water infiltration, development of contour banks, reduction of soil erosion,retention of soil and soil moisture as well as development of wind breaks.|
Income generated from increased production.Implementation was done immediately based on the decision making process which was internalised.

描述两个主要的场外影响（即不是发生在现场，而是发生在周围区域）

Reduced downstream siltation, reduced wind transported sediments and reduced run-off water |

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

The grass does not compete with other crops, the seed is sterile and easy to contain and enhance biodiversity.|
Reduction of run-off water that may result in flooding,increased water infiltration,increased land productivity and improve soil moisture conditions for plants. |
Reduction of run-off water that may result in flooding, restoration Land productivity through monitoring success of soil and vegetation, use of micro-catchments to trap rainwater and improve soil moisture conditions for plants. |

是否进行了成本效益分析？

是否进行了成本效益分析？:

是

具体说明:

It is long term management measure. The quantity of vetiver may be a problem if you need to do it in a bigger scale, you will need to buy grass or alternatively establish a nursery.|
