What are the salient features of slash and Burn agriculture in tropical regions |
|
Answer» ind of natural. Supposedly when lightning would strike the dead trees a forest fire would start and burn down everything. Our ancestors realized that the LAND left behind from that fire was extremely fertile after a while. Also, it is bad to overuse a piece of land. Land needs time to REST and re-fertilize. While slash and burn may not be necessary, it is a GOOD alternative. Disadvantages: You could make a mistake and burn a bit more than what you planned. It is time consuming because you MUST wait for the land to become useful again |
