Development of Agriculture ● Shifting Agriculture游耕农业-Slash and Burn”(刀耕火种) Vegetation is cleared for agriculture and burned to release nutrients. -Particularly useful on thin tropical soils. -Cleared soil useful for 2-3 years. Requires a long recovery time between cycles. Not suitable for large,densely populated areas. 北京大学环境科学与工程学院

Development of Agriculture ·Labor Intensive Agriculture劳力密集型 农业 -Favored when Growing site does not allow mechanization. Crop does not allow mechanization Economic condition does not allow purchase of mechanized equipment.贫穷是主要原因 北京大学环境科学与工程学院
北京大学环境科学与工程学院 Development of Agriculture • Labor Intensive Agriculture 劳力密集型 农业 – Favored when : • Growing site does not allow mechanization. • Crop does not allow mechanization. • Economic condition does not allow purchase of mechanized equipment. 贫穷是主要原因 7

Labor Intensive Agriculture环境科学 Primary reason for use is economic. -Many densely populated countries have numerous small farms that can be effectively managed with human labor. 北京大学环境科学与工程学院

Development of Agriculture境科学 ·Mechanized Agriculture机械化耕作 Typical of industrialized countries. ·Fossil fuel replaces human muscle power..主要 依靠化石燃料而非人力 -Need large amounts of energy and flat land. 土地相对平整 -Often use monocultures because of more efficient planting,cultivating and harvesting. 适合单一作物 -Farmers often rely on hybrids to provide uniform monocultures 北京大学环境科学与工程学院

Problems with Mechanized Agriculture环境科学 ·Large tracts of bare land increases soil erosion.增加 土壤侵蚀 Little genetic differentiation often leads to increased pesticide use.杀虫剂使用 No crop rotation depletes soil nutrients thus increasing fertilizer use..单一作物的影响吸收导致 土壤贫瘠速度加快 Fossil fuel energy use has replaced human muscle power 境科学与工程学院
