Roman55 [17]3 years ago

Soil erosion is defined as the wearing away of topsoil. Topsoil is the top layer of soil and is the most fertile because it contains the most organic, nutrient-rich materials. Therefore, this is the layer that farmers want to protect for growing their crops and ranchers want to protect for growing grasses for their cattle to graze on.

Three examples of biomass sources used to produce biopower
artcher [175]
Biomass might literally mean a biological mass, but it actually denotes sources that are burned to produce energy. Biomass is considered a renewable energy source. The primary one that has been used for thousands of years is wood; it is still widespread in many primitive areas and it is burned in old and new burners. Biofuels like ethanol from crops is another important source that has been on a rise. They are cheap and they are used a lot in developing countries. Finally, the burning of municipal waste is another source and many Nordic countries use it to produce energy and even some import waste to use as fuel.
