Soil Contamination

By Xavier Koerner

Soil erosoin

Topic 1

Soil erosion is the processes such as water flow or wind. That remove soil and rock from the Earth's crust. Then it moves to some where to be kept.

As you can see soil erosion is a problem in most states

Soil erosion ruins the food web relationship by killing plants. When plants die or get dragged away some animals can't eat. Bigger animals might die off or eat something diffrent from their regular diet.

Farmers are concerned about soil erosion because it ruins their farm land.

Soil conservation

Topic 2

Soil conservation helps soil from becoming eroded. It does this by having a heathy ecosystem of organisms. Worms help this by making tunnels for the roots to grow.

Wind erosion ruins the soil conservation process

An organization for soil conservation is called ISCO (International Soil Conservation Organization). Their goal is "for the sustainable, productive, and efficient use of soil and water resources".

Landlords are not concerned about this problem because they think it cost to much money. This makes farmers worried.
