The role of forestry in watershed mangement and soil conservation

ABSTRACT
Intro:
In Pakistan, the area of watershed and range lands constitutes about 65 to 70 percent of total land area. These areas are in depleted condition and far below their productive potential. Because of continued misuse through deforestation, unchecked grazing and irresponsible extension of cultivation, the watershed lands have been severely damaged with the result that agricultural production has considerably decreased.
