Keywords:
Soil; Conservation works; Erosion; DegradationAbstract
The study was carried out between January 2022 and April 2024, to evaluate the impact of soil conservation and improvement works on reducing erosion in areas dedicated to coconut cultivation in productive units of the Baracoa municipality. An area with strong soil degradation was selected, where an integrated system of measures consisting of stone dams and coconut tree trunks was prepared. The impact that the works provide will be determined using soil retention indicators in the improvement works, amount of nutrients removed, benefited agricultural area (ha) and soil compaction (g. (cm3)-1). The results showed that the conservation works made it possible to reduce soil loss by retaining 1747.93 t and 266.54 t of soil, achieving the declaration of 100% of the worked area as benefited agricultural area.
