| Zusammenfassung |
In the last few years "D. I. A. F." (Department of Agriculture and
Forestry Engineering of Florence University), has been testing the
effectiveness of soil bioengineering techniques in Central America. The
focus of the present study was to find out which native plants were most
suited for soil bioengineering purposes, particularly in the realization of
riverbank protection in Nicaragua. Furthermore, we have also been aiming at
economic efficiency.
These techniques are appropriate for sustainable watershed management
especially in underdeveloped countries. Concerning the plants to be used we
experimented four native species. Gliricidia Sepium, Cordia dentata and Jatropha curcas are suitable for soil
bioengineering more than Bursera Simaruba. Economically speaking, the sustainability of such
interventions in underdeveloped countries, has been shown by the evaluation
of the cost of riverbank protection using vegetated crib-walls in Nicaragua
compared to the cost in different contexts. |
