📢 The Saarland Chamber of Agriculture reports increasing risk of #erosion. Erosion protection regulations are being revised, plowing restricted
🌧️🌬️ Climate change is exacerbating erosion. #Agroforestry can help: trees stabilize #soil, slow down wind, and improve #water availability. 🌳💧

📢 Landwirtschaftskammer Saarland meldet steigende Erosionsgefahr. Die Erosionsschutzverordnung wird neu berechnet, der Pflugeinsatz eingeschränkt
🌧️🌬️ Durch Klimawandel nimmt Erosion zu. Agroforst kann helfen: Bäume stabilisieren Böden, bremsen Wind und verbessern die Wasserverfügbarkeit. 🌳💧

At the end of May, an RBC #flume was installed at one of the #AFaktive sites in Belgium. This device will continuously measure surface #runoff for 4 years in this #agroforeetry system. Scientific objective: to assess the impact of agroforestry on water regulation at the plot level.🌳💧🔬
