This would require massive deforestation around the world, and conversion of many fragile hillsides and drylands to cropping for which they are environmentally unsuitable.
There are differences in soil water content between riparian and hillside sites where trees in the first are mainly evergreen and deciduous in the second.
It consists of a series of steep hillsides separated by deep gullies.
This region is characterized by three agroecozones: the valley floors, the lower hillsides, and the upper hillsides.
In many cases, this involves diverting ephemeral streams from hillsides and road culverts onto agricultural land.
Beyond, three small temples set in the wooded hillside present themselves across a defile falling to the right.
This has been architecturally re-ordered into a double stair leading down to a landing, from which a flood of steps plunges deep into the hillside.
What little 'trickle-down' there was trickled mainly into provincial capitals, and local people themselves were often left with little but denuded hillsides and poisoned rivers.
