Saludos.

Typical landfarms are uncovered and, therefore, exposed to climatic factors including rainfall, snow, and wind, as well as ambient temperatures. Rainwater that falls directly onto, or runs onto, the landfarm area will increase the moisture content of the soil and cause erosion. During and following a significant precipitation event, the moisture content of the soils may be temporarily in excess of that required for effective bacterial activity. On the other hand, during periods of drought, moisture content may be below the effective range and additional moisture may need to be added. Erosion of landfarm soils can occur during windy periods and particularly during tilling or plowing operations. Wind erosion can be limited by plowing soils into windrows and applying moisture periodically. In colder parts of the United States, such as the Northeastern states, the length of the landfarming season is shorter, typically ranging from only 7 to 9 months. In very cold climates, special precautions can be taken, including enclosing the landfarm within a greenhouse-type structure or introducing special bacteria (psychrophiles), which are capable of activity at lower temperatures. In warm regions, the landfarming season can last all year.

el área agrícola

Área, sitio, locación, superficie, son sinónimos. No veo la necesidad en el párrafo de traducir "landfarming" agricultura, por "bioRRmediada"???
Peer comment(s):

agree abe(L)solano : Sí, en este primer párrafo este es el significado.
