El efecto beneficioso de los sistemas conservacionistas radica en la protección que ofrecen los residuos dejados sobre la superficie contra el impacto de las gotas de lluvia y flujo de escorrentía y en la disminución de las pérdidas de agua por evaporación al interrumpir el flujo de agua - suelo - atmósfera. Los residuos protegen la estructura superficial, evitando la formación del sello y/o costra, que incide en reducciones drásticas de las tasas de infiltración y en problemas de resistencia a la emergencia de las plántulas. 3, record 2, Spanish, - detritus
