Abstract

IN THE EARLY DAYS of European settlement on the West Coast, high hopes were held for farming on the pakihi lands, for here was land with no forest to be cleared before development to pastures. All that was required to gain pastoral land was to drain the swamps, sow seed and maybe some fertilizer. How right this proved to be; but the problems of drainage were not anticipated. With a high water-table perched on an impervious humus-iron pan and negligible lateral or surface drainage, the task proved discouraging to say the least, and after initial abortive attempts most of the land was abandoned by farmers.
cawthron研究所在巴基斯坦土地牧场发展方面的工作综述
在欧洲人在西海岸定居的早期,人们对在巴基斯坦人的土地上耕种寄予厚望,因为在开发牧场之前,这里没有森林需要砍伐。获得牧场所需要做的就是排干沼泽的水,播种,也许还需要一些肥料。事实证明这是多么正确啊!但排水问题是没有预料到的。由于地下水位很高,位于不透水的腐殖质铁质平底锅上,而且侧向或地表排水微不足道,这项任务至少可以说是令人沮丧的,在最初的尝试失败后,大部分土地被农民放弃了。
