of top soil‚ man can and often does destroy it almost overnight by haphazard land use and improvident husbandry. Irrational methods of cultivation‚ deforestation‚ destruction of natural vegetation due to overgrazing by pasturing animals etc.‚ accelerate denudation. Besides‚ failure of rains‚ floods‚ depopulation and loss of cattle caused by famine and pestilence‚ disturbance caused by war and interference with or change in the natural drainage system have had their deleterious effect on the

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface‚ whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Each soil type has at least one‚ usually three or four horizons. Horizons are defined in most cases by obvious physical features‚ chiefly colour and texture. These may be described both in absolute terms (particle size distribution for texture‚ for instance) and in terms relative to the surrounding material‚ i.e. ‘coarser’ or ‘sandier’ than the horizons above and below

Q1. You are asked to create soil that would be considered very fertile. What would you include in your "recipe?" I would try to create a soil order all of my own‚ combining Inceptisols and Mollisols unique characteristics. My terrain for my soil to be placed would be on a mostly flat to gently sloping surface to provide good drainage‚ minimum erosion‚ and sufficient time for nutrients to drain into the soil. My “O” soil horizon will be mostly compost made from fallen leaves and other organic

Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

Soil Degradation The damaging process of soil particles being moved and cycled by water or wind is known as erosion. Soil erosion can occur anytime soil is bare or exposed and naturally removed by wind or water. This form of soil degradation is a natural process but it further elevated by human activity. Human disturbances of the soil allow for this process to happen more rapidly under natural conditions. According to the University of Michigan‚ whose geologist conducted a study‚ human actions

Soil conservation includes all such measures which protect the soil from erosion and restore its fertility. These measures are of two types-(a) small measures to check soil erosion at local or even individual level‚ and (b) large measures at government level involving larger area and heavy investment. (a) Small Measures-These include afforestation‚ regularised land strip cultivation or contour farming or terrace farming in hilly areas‚ use of stubble mulch system‚ increasing cohesiveness of the

Soil‚ which is one of the most important natural resources‚ is often less heeded. The importance of soil conservation is relatively less talked about as compared to the conservation of water and other natural resources. The almost-omnipresent soil is mostly taken for granted. Its omnipresence is ironically the reason behind us‚ human beings‚ taking it for a ride. We rarely even think of it as a natural resource that needs to be conserved‚ a part of the natural wealth that needs to be preserved.

What is soil erosion? Soil erosion is a natural process‚ occurring over geological time‚ and indeed it is a process that is essential for soil formation in the first place. With respect to soil degradation‚ most concerns about erosion are related to accelerated erosion‚ where the natural rate has been significantly increased mostly by human activity. Soil erosion by water is a widespread problem throughout Europe. Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind: such ’background’

Soil Erosion Erosion is a natural process by which rock and soil are broken loose from the earth’s surface at one location and moved to another. Soil erosion forms and changes land by wearing down mountains filling valleys‚ and making rivers appear and disappear. Erosion is usually a slow and gradual process that occurs over the course of thousands or millions of years. However the rate of erosion can be speeded up by such human activities as mining. How erosion occurs? Ero0sion begins with
