Soil salinity adversely affects the metabolism of most crops, and erosion effects usually follow vegetation failure.

Soil type, drainage, or degree of slope can make the difference between good crops and poor ones.

Soil biology and chemistry can be seriously damaged by acid rain.

Soil chemistry can be dramatically changed when base cations, such as calcium and magnesium, are leached by acid rain thereby affecting sensitive species, such as sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ).

The Climate, Soil, and Sea provide everything that can be expected from them.

Soil fertility can sometimes be mitigated by applying the appropriate lime and organic fertilizers.

According to the Soil Association, the total copper that can be applied to organic land is 6 kg / ha / year.

Soil forms a structure filled with pore spaces and can be thought of as a mixture of solids, water, and air ( gas ).

Soil factors such as density, depth, chemistry, pH, temperature and moisture greatly affect the type of plants that can grow in a given location.

Soil building and pest population management benefits can be further utilized with different complexities of crop rotation.

Soil salinity can be reduced by leaching soluble salts out of soil with excess irrigation water.

From the FAO / UNESCO Soil Map of the World the following salinised areas can be derived.

Soil of the Town is generally clay loam and somewhat difficult to cultivate, but heavy crops of wheat can be grown on the land, thus giving the Town its name-Wheatfield.

* Soil analysis, such as determining pH, can help to confirm the presence of physiological disorders.

Soil steaming can be used as an ecological alternative to chemicals for soil sterilization.

Much of this is oriented towards the use of herbicides, the majority of which may not be acceptable to the organic producer ( apart from non-synthetic substances like sulphur, which in some circumstances are accepted within Soil Association standards ) but in most cases there are manual techniques that can be used such as digging out the roots, mulching out or carefully timed cutting before seeds are able to spread.

Soil that are high in calcium minerals, for example, can be given green manure to generate a higher phosphate content in the soil, which in turn acts as a fertilizer.

Soil erosion is a process that can irreparably reduce the productive capacity of an agroecosystem.

In May 2005, McKeith was given the Best Organic Businesses 2005 Consumer Education Award by the Soil Association, a British charity promoting organic food, in recognition of her work in " tackling obesity, championing healthier eating and promoting the contribution that organic fruit, vegetables and other products can make to sound nutrition.

Soil classification can be approached from the perspective of soil as a material and soil as a resource.

A number of Borsodi's texts can be found in the Social Criticism section of the Soil and Health Online Library.

Soil and sand carried through a culvert can wear away the galvanizing of a steel culvert, allowing it to corrode and eventually collapse, disrupting the road or railway above it.

Soil in good tilth is loamy, nutrient-rich soil that can also be said to be friable because optimal soil has a mixture of sand, clay and organic matter that prevents severe compaction.

Soil composition is primarily sand and clay rather than limestone, so very few sinkholes develop ; however deep, large diameter sinkholes do occur.

Soil pH levels adverse to crop growth can occur naturally in some regions ; it can also be induced by acid rain or soil contamination from acids or bases.

Soil experts in New York City and with the United States Geological Survey analyzed the soil, and provided a guarantee ( backed up by a bond ) that no settling of the building would occur due to soil conditions.

" Drawing on remnants of the old Whig party, and on disenchanted Free Soil, Liberty, and Democratic party members, he was instrumental in forging the shape of the new Republican Party.

He has published extensively on the social and environmental significance of agriculture and a number of volumes and papers on the philosophical significance of farming, notably The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics ( 1995 ) and The Agrarian Roots of Pragmatism ( 2000 ).

These groups built on the work of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil and The Locust, as well as industrial metal.

Forcing Slavery Down the Throat of a FreesoilerAn 1854 cartoon depicts a giant Free Soil Party | free soiler being held down by James Buchanan and Lewis Cass standing on the Democratic Party ( United States ) | Democratic platform marked " Kansas ", " Cuba " and " Central America " ( referring to accusations that southerners wanted to annex areas in Latin America to expand slavery ).

Though he did vote against the admission of Missouri as a slave state, and though he would be the nominated presidential candidate of the Free Soil Party, an anti-slavery political party, in 1848, there was no ambiguity in his position on the abolition of slavery during his term of office.

Soil formation, or pedogenesis, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material.

Scientific instruments included a Soil Mechanics tester, Solar X-ray experiment, an Astrophotometer to measure visible and Ultraviolet light levels, a Magnetometer deployed in front of the rover on the end of a 2. 5 m ( 8 ft 2 in ) boom, a Radiometer, a Photodetector ( Rubin-1 ) for laser detection experiments, and a French-supplied laser Corner Reflector.

Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of soil suggests that there may be a fourth subphylum of Ascomycota ( termed Soil Clone Group I or SCGI ), that has not been described in cultures or based on fruiting bodies.

* Soil Science – study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the earth including soil formation, classification and mapping ; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils ; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.

* Soil classification systems cannot be based entirely on perceptions of genesis, however, because genetic processes are seldom observed and because pedogenic processes change over time.

Soil science is the study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the earth including soil formation, classification and mapping ; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils ; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.

Central to the Soil Quality Initiative is developing indices of soil health and then monitoring them in a way that gives us long term ( decade-to-decade ) feedback on our performance as stewards of the planet.
