	Slash and burn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slash and burn (a specific practice that may be part of shifting cultivation or swidden-fallow agriculture) is an agricultural procedure widely used in forested areas.
		Slash and burn is a specific functional element of certain farming practices, often shifting cultivation systems.
		Slash and burn requires a very low human population density to have any chance of success on its own as a single element farming cycle, since the recovery of forests may require many decades or even human generations.

	Slash and Burn
		Slashes map well to filesystems, with a few exceptions, about which newbies occasionally become confused.
		A slash is a relatively heavyweight character with directionality.

	slash and burn agriculture
		Burning fields and pastures is very common here in Brazil.
		There are two reasons for it: bugs, rodents, snakes etc. and the acidity of the land.
		On our little farm, we could only convince the field hands to stop burning once we showed them how to use chemicals - fertilizers and insecticides - which got into the lake and caused minor disaster.

	a discussion on slash and burn
		For centuries "swidden" or slash and burn agriculture was practiced on Borneo without creating an ecological crisis.
		The slash and burn practices today can hardly be compared to the traditional Dayak "swidden" when the population on Borneo was much smaller and Dayak tribes were scattered.
		Today the land clearing by slash and burn practices is far beyond the scale that occurred historically by the Dayaks.

	LACANDON MAYA; Sustainable agriculture in the rain forest.
		Unlike temperate forests in North America, where the majority of nutrients are found in the soil, 75 percent of the nutrients in tropical forests are contained in the forest's living biomass and only 8 percent in the soil.
		Thus, burning the dried brush in a field, depositing a layer of fertilizing ash, is an effective means of placing the forest's nutrients in the soil.
		Once the field is burned, the farmer may wait a month to plant his main crop of corn, for he has to wait for the onset of the seasonal rains in June.

	What Part Did Agricultural Practices Play in the Growth and Collapse of the Ancient Maya Civilization?
		They still clear the land the way their ancestors did before they had metal tools or machines, by a method called slash and burn.
		Still, when you consider that the soil in the Maya region is naturally poor for farming, the slash and burn method actually was and still is a sound technology.
		In fact, slash and burn is perfectly acceptable when there is and abundance of land, but if the population is getting too large to be supported by the land, then leaving large areas fallow for many years would be impossible.

		When you hear someone using the term slash chords, this person is simply applying a different way of looking at an existing chord.
		And, the slash chord notation also communicates more clearly the true progression: it's just a ii-V-I in E. However, running along the bottom of that ii-V-I, I decided I wanted a bluesey bass line.
		Play the tab again, and you'll hear what I mean: G, F#, E. We're in the key of E major, but I dig the blues, so I put the blue G in there.
