RESEARCH ON AGRICULTURAL LANDUSE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF DEGRADATION THROUGH GULLIES AND LANDSLIDES AND SOLUTIONS FOR ANTI-EROSION ORGANIZATION AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL EXPLOITATION

Abstract

Starting from 2006, at SCDCES "MM" Perieni, research was carried out on the way agricultural land is used in the current ownership conditions and degradation through gullies and landslides in watersheds, or perimeters, of different sizes, and solutions for anti-erosion organization and sustainable agricultural exploitation were proposed to local authorities and farmers. The categories of anti-erosion works proposed belong to two groups: a) works of a larger scale, which require the intervention of the State, such as land reclamation works, modeling works, landscaping of slopes with landslides, torrent or gully stabilization works, etc., afforestation and planting of protection forest belts; b) works of a smaller scale, which are within the reach of farmers or administrators, such as: drawing grassy strips between stripcrops, establishing grassed waterways on the bottom of valleys or ephemeral gullies, correcting the routes of agricultural exploitation roads, etc. In the period 2021-2024, research is carried out in the framework of the project entitled "Solutions for anti-erosion organization of the territory and sustainable agricultural exploitation based on the inventory of landslides and gullies" in four hydrographic micro-watersheds. This article presents the results of the research carried out in the first two stages of the project, in the Tomești and Trestiana-Conizoaia hydrographic micro-watersheds, within the Bârlad Tableland.
