This method of irrigation applies water directly onto plants & increases water efficiency while reducing salinization:

• ditch

• spray

• drip

• flood

Reclamation is the process of

• Removing coal from a subsurface seam

• Extracting ore minerals from gangue minerals

• Returning land to its original or better condition

• Protecting the habitats of local wildlife

Which of the following is the leading use of water globally?

• Domestic/Residential

• Industry

• Business/Commercial

• Agriculture

When irrigation water evaporates, salts are left behind on the soil surface and can cause plant death or lead to

• soil salinization

• desertification

• waterlogging

• monocropping

When roots become saturated with water due to over-irrigation, it causes death in plant roots. This is called:

• salinization

• desertification

• agroforestry

• waterlogging

Which methods of irrigation is the least efficient with the highest rate of evaporation?

• spray irrigation

• drip irrigation

• furrow irrigation

• flood irrigation

Moderate irrigation with groundwater over a long period of time can cause

• salinization

• water logging

• desertification

• succession

Overgrazing of grasslands can lead to reduced range quality. Two of the major effects of overgrazing are

• erosion and desertification

• eutrophication and increased methane production

• higher fire potential and increased productivity

• higher primary productivity and ammonification
