It will do so by first improving local observation and monitoring systems for water and soil quality, rehabilitating small-scale water management schemes such as rainwater retention systems and irrigations, undertaking functional reforestation of mangroves on 250 hectares of mangrove swamp areas, and strengthening agricultural value chains with microenterprises. ...
The trees in Idrica´s forest have been planted under strict environmental and scientific criteria, reducing CO2 emissions by around 14 tons of CO2 according to estimates related to similar land recovery and reforestation initiatives in Spain. Idrica undertook this project in collaboration with the Estubeny Town Council and Bosquia, a company responsible for CSR projects, ...

Spacers in open air hydroponic crops This is an alternative use, outside greenhouses, to which our Spacers are being put in tree seedling nurseries for reforestation purposes. They are also used with trees, such as avocado trees, that are grown for their produce. ...
In vegetable crops in particular, there are a number of tried and tested advantages to using our Spacers in hydroponic farming. They include providing a means of lifting the substrate away from the drainage stream whilst providing excellent aeration and avoiding a build-up of humidity below the substrate. These advantages have led to Spacers also being used with other applications and in ...
Two PP20s were recently commissioned in Indonesia where they will be using biomass waste from their reforestation projects as feedstock for the units. ...
Ecology: The effect of deforestation or reforestation on plants in the understory can be studied using leaf area measurements. ...
In São Paulo’s case, a strategic reforestation of 2% of the Cantareira would cost US$37 million, but would save an estimated US$69 million over 30 years. ...
“In 1986 our company used Sidel Systems to design and install a complete hot water heating system in our 135,000 sq./ft. greenhouse. The system was comprised of 51mm heating loops, headers with computer controlled mixing valves, and a 500 HP gas fires Cleaver Brooks Boiler outfitted with a matching flue gas condenser unit. Over the next 3 years we added additional greenhouse space and the ...
“I rarely use the term miracle, but I am willing to make an exception for moringa,” says Hugh Locke, president of the Smallholder Farmers Alliance, which works with farmer cooperatives to improve nutrition and contribute to reforestation in Haiti. “Not only has it got these unique nutritional properties — unique in the entire tree kingdom — but it ...

The nationwide five million hectare reforestation programme (5MHRP) was adopted by the Government of Vietnam as a comprehensive policy to address deforestation and poverty in the mountainous regions all over Vietnam. ...
The State Minister for Agriculture in Ethiopia highlighted that “bamboo is considered the most important, fast-growing, strategic intervention for afforestation and reforestation in the mountainous and degraded areas in the country.” Case studies of bamboo restoration remain relatively small-scale, but some have shown promise. ...
The country has long-battled its scarcity issues through Watershed Development, a participatory approach to improve water management through afforestation and reforestation, sustainable land management, soil and water conservation, water-harvesting infrastructure, and social interventions. ...
This amount of grain saved is equivalent to not seeding 247 million hectares of land (assuming average yields of two tonnes per hectare). Imagine the impact of reforesting that land, and saving the water, fuel and fertilizer used to produce the lost grain. ...
This is compared with a situation where only a uniform payment structure is feasible. In the case of reforestation projects, and with respect to both economic and sustainability criteria, our model point to that a differentiated payment structure based on output due to remote sensing is superior to a uniform contract. Keywords: clean development mechanism, CDM projects, REDD, ...
By the end of 2011, over 12 billion trees had been planted. Some countries reforest on their own. South Korea is in many ways a reforestation model for the rest of the world in this respect. ...
A growing population and rapid development will put a strain on land used to grow food over the next century. But if reforestation is used to avoid climate change it will create further strain, says a new MIT study. ...
We can roughly estimate how much it will cost to reforest the earth, protect topsoil, restore rangelands and fisheries, stabilize water tables, and protect biological diversity. ...
With these modifications, current use valuation programs can be a tool for not only keeping forest as forest but also stimulating a wide range of beneficial management activities, such as reforestation and management of ecosystem services. This brief is designed to inform state, county, and municipal decisionmakers; land-use planners; and other stakeholders working to conserve ...
The results showed that water production aimed strategies (*W) provided minimum timber production while timber production aimed strategies (*T) obtained minimum water production. Results also showed that reforestation of Forest Openings (FO) provide high timber and low water production.Keywords: linear programming, water production, forest management, NPV, net present value, ...
Reducing rainfall runoff and the associated flooding and soil erosion, recycling rainfall inland, and restoring aquifer recharge depend on simultaneously reducing pressure on forests and on reforestation. There is a vast unrealized potential in all countries to lessen the demands that are shrinking the earth’s forest cover. ...
