Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow an announcement for the 2021 ASABE Soil Erosion
Research under a Changing Climate symposium - January 2021 - Puerto Rico!

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

*Dear friends and colleagues,*



*The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) is
sponsoring its decadal soil erosion research symposium on January 10-15,
2021 in northwest Puerto Rico. The theme of this meeting will be “Soil
Erosion Research under a Changing Climate”, and it will be held at the
Punta Borinquén Resort in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Co-sponsors include the
University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez, the USDA-Agricultural Research
Service, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the
USDA-Forest Service.*



*Topic areas for the symposium are:*

*- Soil Erosion by Water Research*

*- Soil Erosion by Wind Research*

*- Erosion Control Research*

*- Coastal Zones and Soil Erosion: Dynamics, Mechanics and Damages*

*- Conservation Innovations on Steep Lands in the Tropics to Avoid Erosion*

*- Impacts of Climate Change on Soil Erosion*

*- Soil Erosion Impacts on Water and Air Quality*

*- Modeling of Agricultural Systems and Erosion Prediction*

*- Modeling of Erosion Processes in Forests and Agroecosystems at Watershed
and Basin Scales*

*- Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technology in Erosion Quantification and
Prediction*

*- Hurricane Effects on Erosion and Water Quality*

*- Emerging Technologies in Soil Erosion Research*

*- Watershed Scale Soil Conservation*

*- Measurement Techniques in Soil Erosion Research*

*- Historical Soil Erosion Research in Puerto Rico*



*We have an exciting meeting planned, that includes three days of plenary,
oral, and poster sessions, a day visit to the Civil Engineering and
Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering Departments at the University of
Puerto Rico – Mayaguez to learn of their related research projects, and a
day field tour of local areas with erosion and water quality concerns
and/or research.  I hope that you will consider submitting an abstract, and
joining us for this international gathering that only happens once every 10
years.  (The previous meetings in this series were held in 2001 in
Honolulu, and in 2011 in Anchorage.)*
