Answer 2

Explanation:

• Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks, affect both erosion and fertility. When plants die, they decay and become part of the soil. Code 330 defines standard methods recommended by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.
• Energy plantation is the practice of planting trees, purely for their use as fuel. Terrestrial biomass i.e., the wood plants has been used since long time to generate fire for cooking and other purposes. In recent years, to meet the demand of energy, plantation of energy plants has been re-emphasized. It is well known fact that trees have been intensively cut in Gangetic plains and coastal belts, leaving the area totally denude. The same practice has also been done in Shfwalik region and foot-hills of Himalayas. According to a report, if fuel/fire wood plants were not raised rapidly, by 2,000 AD more than 250 millions people would not be able to manage fuels for cooking purpose and, therefore, they would be forced to burn animal dung which, however, depends on availability of animals and agricultural crop residues
