Spanish term or phrase: acordonamiento (de restos vegetales)
Fuimos eliminando el resto de las especies dejando callejones para la siembra y ***acordonando el terreno con los restos vegetales***. En terrenos con pendientes pronunciadas se hizo el ***acordonamiento*** respetando las curvas de nivel para evitar el arrastre del suelo".




Acordonar
Land preparation: to gather the dried undergrowth into small piles along the furrows to be burned after clearing.


En el área de estudio, la plantación con Pinus elliottii (Engelm) viene desarrollándose activamente, sobre suelos cuyo material originario consistió en sedimentos fluviales. Es habitual que estos suelos sean labrados y ***los restos vegetales acordonados*** y quemados para reiniciar las plantaciones con plantines. Sólo se han observado métodos de resiembra natural en tratamientos experimentales.

I am not sure of the correct term in English for 'acordonamiento' in this context. It is a technique used to prevent erosion on sloping land. etc.

Many thanks in advance!
