sand-cover cultivation Explanation: Cf. entry in my trusty Dictionary of Landscape and Urban Planning (German-English-French-Spanish; Evert, Klaus-Jürgen [ed.]; ISBN 3-540-67908-1): ******************* Moorkultur - (Urbarmachung von Mooren. In Deutschland unterscheidet man bei *Hoch*mooren Fehnkultur [Vermischung der Bunkerde nach Abtorfung der darunter liegenden Torfschichten mit dem sandigen Untergrund], Deutsche Hochmoorkultur [Urbarmachung von nicht abgetorftem Moor durch Entwässerung, Kalkung und Düngung] und Sandmischkultur [Urbarmachung von gering mächtigen Mooren - 50-150 cm - durch Tiefpflügen und Vermischung des Sandes mit dem anstehenden Torf]; bei *Nieder*mooren [Niedermoor]schwarzkultur [intensive Grünlandnutzung mit Kaliphosphatdüngung ohne Sandauftrag] und ***Sanddeckkultur*** [Auftrag einer Sandschicht auf die Mooroberfläche]; Melioration) EN Moorkultur = bog cultivation (Tilling a bog for crop production; in Germany, there are the following distinct forms: Fehnkultur - fen cultivation, Hochmoorkultur - raised-bog cultivation, Sandmischkultur - sand-mix cultivation, Schwarzkultur - low-bog cultivation, Sanddeckkultur - ***sand-cover cultivation***; agricultural land improvement) ******************* Based on the above info, I think that "sand-cover cultivation" comes closest to your context. However, please do wait for confirmation/backup as I am not an expert in this field. |
