When I was researching for this essay explaining what soil and water conservation means to me‚ I found two quotes that really stuck out to me. One written by Franklin D. Roosevelt stated‚ “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land‚ purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”‚ and another that was written by an unknown author read‚ “Water is life’s mater and matrix‚ mother and medium. There is no life without water.” I am not sure about you

Article Summary Effects of earthworms on soil Earthworm is the common name for the largest members of Oligochaeta in the phylum Annelida. They combine bilateral symmetry and corresponding external and internal segmentation. This phylum consists of more than 17‚000 modern species of worms including earthworms‚ ragworms‚ and leeches. They are found in marine environments from tidal zones to hydrothermal vents‚ in fresh water‚ and in most terrestrial environments. They generally do not occur

implemented what is considered to be successful Air Force Suicide Prevention Program in 1997 that helped to reduce suicide by over 30% (Knox‚ Pflanz‚ Talcott‚ Campise‚ Lavinge‚ Bajorska‚ & Tu‚ 2010). This program‚ customized for the Air Force‚ focused its efforts on improving the wellness of all service members instead of specifically targeting at-risk airmen. This approach was not entirely novel; by focusing efforts on prevention of conditions before they become problematic‚ the Air Force model

Forests are lifeline of our planet Earth‚ as they provide fresh and pure oxygen rich air and pure water for our living. A forest consists of several different types of herbs‚ shrubs‚ climbers‚ creepers and trees with branches spread out widely. Such branches are called as crown of the tree. Trees with wide branches planted in a row‚ provide a roof-like structure‚ called as canopy. These canopies prevent the sunlight and make the atmosphere dark and cool. The soil of the forest is rich in minerals

CHAPTER 8 Soil Compaction Soil compaction is one of the most critical components in the construction of roads‚ airfields‚ embankments‚ and foundations. The durability and stability of a structure are related to the achievement of proper soil compaction. Structural failure of roads and airfields and the damage caused by foundation settlement can often be traced back to the failure to achieve proper soil compaction. Compaction is the process of mechanically densifying a soil. Densification
