Eco L: Soil Diversity Introduction Soil is an ecological system consisting of inorganic minerals (sand‚ silt‚ clay‚ and nutrients)‚ pore spaces‚ water‚ gases‚ organic matter‚ living organisms‚ and plants (Thien‚ 2002). The soil is said to be stable structurally and chemically thus is considered an outstanding medium for soil organisms such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ nematodes‚ arthropods‚ and earthworms. The potential habitats of these soil invertebrates are the spaces within the surface

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.

Soil Salinity Salinity in both the rivers and on the land is one of the main and most costly results of overclearing and irrigation. Salinity is caused by changes in the delicate balance between surface water and groundwater systems. A small increase in the infiltration of water from the topsoil to the groundwater‚ due to rainfall or irrigation‚ can result in a dramatic rise in groundwater pressure and watertable levels. The trees of the open forests are now replaced by shallow-rooted crops and

Lab #3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction October 14‚ 2014 Abstract: The purpose of the lab‚ Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction‚ is to be able to calculate the amount of a second reactant we need to react with the reactant one. You must calculate the amount of the second reactant using stoichiometry to figure out what amount is needed. After the amount is calculated‚ you then can add it to the first reactant and it will give you a full reaction. To figure out what you

Soil Management in Konkan Introduction to soil management Soil is non renewable natural resource which supports life on earth. It needs to be managed successfully to support sustainable development. It is growing in economic importance because of a broader environmental agenda. Poor soil management in many regions‚ including parts Konkan and western Maharashtra‚ has progressively degraded productive soils. This is putting our food security at risk in the context of a growing and increasingly

For example‚ in Queensland a deep‚ fertile clay soil is suitable for intensive agriculture but a shallow‚ sandy soil is better suited to grazing and growing native trees. The suitability of a soil for a particular purpose can often be

Soil erosion is a major concern in the southeastern region of Nigeria due to high population densities and farming techniques‚ which has resulted in the presence of numerous gullies. While gullies are found all around the world‚ the existence of gullies in Nigeria is regarded as one of the worst environment disasters‚ having negative implications on the environment and the quality of life for humans and other species (Adetona & Ezezika‚ 2011; Ajaegwu & al‚ 2010). Large quantities of soil in Nigeria
