Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. Shirley Benjamin EVS 1001 Professor Gehosky Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. The three major causes of soil erosion are over cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation. These are each all major problems in creating an unsustainable society. The good thing is that each of these causes of erosion can be corrected to create a more sustainable

Effect of Soil pH on the Living Conditions In Lumbricus terrestris Abstract The difference in soil pH weighs a heavy measure on the appearance of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in different areas of soil. A highly acidic or highly alkaline soil may be the underlying reason for the absence of this earthworm in certain areas where pH plays a large role. In this experiment‚ soil pH was altered with Miracida soil acidifier and Agricultural Limestonea soil correctional for acidic soil. This was

From encouraging urban sprawl through the ‘development’ of greenfields to their environmental impacts on soil‚ air and ground water‚ these properties are a drain upon the urban environment. Redevelopment of brownfields are complicated by the potential contamination of hazardous waste‚ heavy metals and pollution that has been left behind in the soil. Although this land can be used once the soil has been cleaned‚ landowners are not financially incentivized to do so and inevitably ‘sit’ on these properties

impossible to stop all of the fuel from being soaked up by the very permeable sandy soil and reaching the ground water. Soon all of the ground water became contaminated and had many toxic chemicals in it. The ground water then began to reach all of the residential area and everyone in the surrounding area knew they were faced with a serious environmental hazard. It was almost impossible to remove all of the contaminated soil and ground water so the only other option was to introduce microorganisms and
