| Abstract | A substantial part of all land currently used for intensive agriculture, in the temperate zone as well as in the tropics, was once a forest soil and was either used for slash and burn agricultural systems (Steenberg.1993), or was at least cleared from its forest cover by a slash-and-burn method. A substantial part of current forests has at some point in time been cleared for agriculture, and was allowed to revert to natural vegetation. |
