	Slash and burn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slash and burn agriculture is sometimes denounced as ecologically destructive, but it is not so when practiced by small populations in large forests, where fields have sufficient time to recover before again being slashed, burned, and cultivated.
		Slash and burn has been used in different regions from the temperate coniferous forests of Northern Europe (e.g., svedjebruk in Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway) to the tropical moist broadleaf forests of Indochina and the Amazon Rainforest.
		Slash and burn agriculture (also known more neutrally as shifting cultivation or swidden-fallow agriculture) is an agricultural system widely used in forested areas.

	Guardian Slash and burn
		The wooden sheets of veneer that Burri burned, blackened, irreparably damaged and disrespected, are also the result of a monstrous or barbaric act.

	a discussion on slash and burn
		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.
		For centuries "swidden" or slash and burn agriculture was practiced on Borneo without creating an ecological crisis.

	Franklin - slash and burn
		Traditional slash and burn farming involves cutting all or most of the trees on small (<2-3 ha) forest plots, burning the slash to release nutrients into the soil and remove existing vegetation, cultivating the plots for 1-3 years, and then abandoning the plots as soil nutrients are depleted and weeds overtake the field.
		The plot, termed a milpa throughout this paper, is left fallow, and the regenerating vegetation helps to improve soil structure and chemistry.

	BOLIVIA: Slash-and-Burn Agriculture Gone Haywire
		Unlike in the western Andean region of the country, where slash-and-burn agriculture is a traditional practice and the small fires are kept tightly under control, in the east the expansion of cattle ranches and soybean fields has fuelled indiscriminate burning of vast swaths of forest, affecting dozens of families, said the activist.
		In general, a typical peasant farmer in Bolivia's Andean region burns a half-hectare area, but the cattle ranchers and soybean growers in the east are clearing the land by the hundreds of hectares, he said.
		Bolivian law allows controlled burns, but Alvarado said the government does not effectively monitor the practice, and said it would be preferable to cancel all of the permits for ''chaqueos''.

	Slash and Burn/ Guns N' Roses/ Slash
		Slash is reportedly ready to start auditioning singers for his equally inconsequential solo project, Slash's Snakepit, since Eric Dover is busy with his band, Imperial Drag.
		Although the split was reportedly by "mutual agreement" between Slash and singer Axl Rose, it seems safe to assume that this band, which stopped mattering sometime around "November Rain," is now free to stumble off into the heavy metal aria direction the frequently court-bound singer was last seen pushing it uphill.
		The band, who are reportedly in the midst of recording an album set for a summer '97 release, have not named a replacement, and no word yet on whether any work Slash laid down on the album will appear on the final product.
