Bamboo based conservation technology for the rehabilitation of degraded lands

overview

This technology rehabilitates degraded lands by integrating fast-growing bamboo species with conservation trenches. Bamboo biomass yields 12–30 t/ha/year and sequesters 5.83–14.88 t C/ha/year, while reducing soil loss from 22 to 4.5 t/ha/year and conserving 45% soil moisture. Ecosystem services are enhanced 2–2.5 times, providing both environmental and economic benefits.
