4 ijreh nov-2017-5-a review of vegetation coverAI Publications
Soil erosion is a major global environmental problem driven by a number of both natural and anthropogenic factors. The objective of this paper is to conduct a review of previous works on vegetation cover as a natural factor of soil erosion. The study made a review of academic/journal articles, internet materials, conference papers, books and publicly available materials on vegetation as a factor of soil erosion. From the review, previous authors had a unity of opinion that vegetation cover is an important index to evaluate the soils’ sensivity to erosion. Uncovering the soil exposes it to the vagaries of erosion ranging from rainsplash to gully erosion that may be irreversible in forms of badlands. Recommendations of the study include: (1) making legislations mandating landholders to cover their soils using mainly economic trees as a source of livelihoods as well as protecting the soil against the forces of raindrops and runoff; (2) agroforestry by farmers and reforestation programme by governments to increase vegetation cover of soils so as to reduce the impact of raindrops and runoff that detach and transport soil particles; and (3) creation of awareness among the generality of the populace on the importance of vegetation in protecting the soil against erosion and maintaining the world’s climate.
Land or soil degradation as an environmental problemMwenya Mundende
The document is a seminar presentation on land degradation by Mwenya Mundende. It defines land degradation as the reduction in the capability of land to support particular uses. The causes of land degradation include both natural factors like climate change and human activities like deforestation and unsustainable agriculture. The effects are loss of biodiversity, decline in soil quality, increased food and water insecurity. Both international agreements like the UNCCD and national Zambian laws address land degradation. Recommendations include developing economic incentives for sustainable land use and improving land use information systems.
Desertification is a global issue that affects dryland populations. It is linked to climate change and biodiversity loss and is caused by factors like unsustainable land use, poverty, and climate change. In Morocco, desertification is a major problem in southern regions and is combated through programs that aim to prevent further desertification and reduce poverty through more sustainable land use. The future impact of population growth, increased food demand, and continued unsustainable practices pose ongoing challenges to preventing desertification in Morocco.
World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th to raise global awareness of environmental protection. It was established in 1972 by the United Nations and the first celebration was in 1973. This year's theme is "Small Island Developing States and Climate Change" and will be hosted in Barbados. Barbados has pledged to increase renewable energy and cut costs and emissions, making environmental protection a national priority.
Erosion gradually wears away soil and sand through water and wind. This document summarizes a science fair project that tests the effects of erosion on soil with and without grass. The experiment involves constructing boxes with soil on one side and soil with grass on the other. Different amounts of water are poured over each side to simulate rainfall, and the runoff is measured. The results show that the side with grass loses significantly less soil, supporting the hypothesis that grass roots help prevent erosion by holding the soil in place. In conclusion, the experiment provides evidence that vegetation can help slow the natural process of erosion.
The document discusses various environmental issues related to overconsumption of natural resources and calls for individuals to consume with care. It notes that while the environment is often defined based on human needs, we must recognize our interdependence with the planet. It highlights issues like increasing waste of water, energy, and food on a global scale. The document advocates addressing these challenges by raising awareness of our environmental impacts and promoting more sustainable consumption among the world's 7 billion people through small individual actions and celebrations like World Environment Day.

Soil erosion which is now one of the impacts of climate change due to increased precipitation events across the globe needs adaptations for adjusting to the actual and expected change in its occurrence more than mechanical/engineering measures for the management of the phenomenon. The objective of this paper is to conduct an in-depth review of adaptation strategies to soil erosion. The research made a review of academic/journal articles, internet materials, news articles, conference papers, books and publicly available materials on adaptations to soil erosion. From the review, most authors have a unity of opinion on adaptive strategies to soil erosion, including the use of mulching, cover cropping, reduced tillage, contour bonds, tree planting, wood logs and ploughing across the slope as they have been found to increase soil yield and reduce soil loss as well as its accompanying adverse impacts. Recommendations of the study includes: (1) enhancement of the existing adaptive measures; (2) a shift from rain-fed agriculture to dry season farming; (3) training the affected people on adopting the adaptive measures which are currently ignored in most communities; and (4) encouragement of the participation of land holders through grants in soil erosion management based on the adaptive techniques.
The document discusses how population growth and land use impact the environment. It notes that the human population has grown rapidly since the 1800s due to advances in medicine, sanitation, and nutrition. The population is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050. As population increases, so does resource consumption and waste production. Agriculture uses 11% of the Earth's land but farming practices like chemical usage can contaminate soil and water. Deforestation reduces forests, which impacts climate and species. Development like roads and buildings also affects the environment by increasing runoff and reducing groundwater. The large and growing human population poses challenges around whether Earth's resources can support such high demand sustainably.
The document discusses World Environment Day which is celebrated annually on June 5th. The 2014 theme was "Small Islands and Climate Change" to raise awareness of challenges facing small island developing states from climate change. Key issues addressed included sea level rise from thermal expansion and melting ice sheets/glaciers, and vulnerability of islands to effects of climate change like stronger storms. Greenhouse gases from human activities are enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and warming the planet's surface.
The document outlines the aims and topics of an IT student project on environmental protection.

Plastic bottles have several disadvantages, including that they take 500 years to decompose in landfills, most plastic is not recycled, and plastic bottles are meant for single-use rather than reuse. Additionally, plastic production relies on non-renewable resources like oil and natural gas. Discarded plastic often ends up in oceans and waterways, where it can be ingested by marine life and cause health issues. While a complete ban on plastics may not be feasible, reducing plastic usage and properly disposing of and recycling plastics can help address these issues.
Plastic bottles have several disadvantages, including that they take an extremely long time (500 years) to decompose in landfills. Additionally, plastic is difficult to recycle effectively as most plastic cannot be recycled and recycled plastic is often downcycled into lower quality products. A further disadvantage is that plastic production relies on non-renewable resources like oil and natural gas. Large quantities of discarded plastic end up polluting the environment and harming wildlife through ingestion and entanglement.
Plastic Bottles Reutilization: The DIY Recycling Towards Climate Action Analy...Apple Kate Sabar, PhD, LPT
Plastic waste affects more than just the oceans. It is both a human health issue and a climatic issue. Fossil fuel-derived plastics make up 6% of the world's oil usage. As a result, from production to transportation to waste disposal, plastics and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are closely linked at every stage of the plastic life cycle, and as such, they play a significant role in climate change. Due to the greenhouse gas emissions produced, unsustainable plastic manufacture and the incineration of plastic trash for energy recovery have drawn heavy criticism.
Plastic pollution is a major global problem caused by the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. Nearly 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually, half of which is for single-use purposes. More than 8 million tons of plastic end up in oceans each year. Plastic pollution harms wildlife and ecosystems through entanglement, ingestion, and chemical exposure. Reducing plastic usage, reusing products, and improving waste management and recycling are key to solving this growing environmental issue.
Plastic pollution is a major problem caused by overuse of plastic and a disposable mentality. Plastic waste ends up polluting the environment, including oceans and fresh water. This plastic pollution has negative effects like harming ocean and land animals, disrupting the food chain, causing health issues for humans and being expensive to manage. The top plastic polluting countries are the US, India, China, Brazil, and Indonesia. Solutions include reducing single-use plastics, using reusable containers and bags, and banning certain plastics. Some countries have implemented bans on plastic use and import. Islam also teaches stewardship of the environment.

The document discusses various ways that plastic waste and pollution are harming the environment and provides alternatives to reduce plastic usage. It notes that each car contributes about 1 ton of CO2 per year and plastic bottles are tossed out at a rate of 2.5 million per hour. Plastic does not biodegrade and causes soil and water pollution. The document encourages reducing plastic use and provides alternatives like paper, cloth, and jute. It also stresses the importance of planting trees to reduce carbon dioxide and help address global warming.
Plastics are synthetic polymers that are durable, lightweight and inexpensive materials. However, they persist in the environment for centuries and have caused widespread pollution. Only a small percentage of plastics are recycled each year, with the rest accumulating in landfills and oceans. This poses threats to wildlife through entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris. Reducing plastic use and improving waste management strategies are needed to curb further environmental damage.
This document summarizes the issue of plastic pollution in Indonesian marine environments. It discusses how plastics enter the environment as both primary and secondary microplastics. Microplastics are then ingested by marine animals and can accumulate toxins in tissue, posing risks to animal and human health. The document also reviews several studies that found microplastics in various Indonesian coastal and marine areas, demonstrating it is a widespread problem. Effective solutions are needed to address plastic pollution for the health of Indonesia's marine ecosystems and communities.

1883 Season 2_ What’s Really Going On With the Yellowstone Prequel.docxvoice ofarticle
Before diving into the reasons behind the absence of a second season, let's revisit what made 1883 Season 2 such a compelling watch. The series serves as a prequel to Yellowstone, chronicling the Dutton family's arduous journey from Texas to Montana in search of a better future. James Dutton (Tim McGraw), a Civil War veteran, leads his wife Margaret (Faith Hill), their daughter Elsa (Isabel May), and their son John through the treacherous American frontier. Their expedition is fraught with peril—disease, harsh weather, and conflicts with Native American tribes test their resilience at every turn. Elsa's narration provides a poignant lens through which viewers experience the family's trials and tribulations. Her eventual death before reaching Montana becomes a pivotal moment, prompting the Duttons to settle on the land that would become the Yellowstone Ranch .
As a director with over two decades of experience, I've come to realise that scene transitions are much more than just moving from point A to point B – they're psychological bridges that can make or break your storytelling.
