How would you describe the practice of summer fallow and how did this practice damage the soil?
Summer fallow is cropland that is purposely kept out of production during a regular growing season. If the summer fallow practice left the soil bare of any plant materials or residue, the soil was left exposed to potential erosion. Modern conservation tillage practices have greatly reduced this possibility. See the related link below.
