Soil is a Complex System of Minerals, Gas, Water, Organisms, and More The soil that lies across our plains and fields is a complex environment of minerals, organic material, water, gasses, and living organisms. Soil allows plants to grow, supporting life on our planet. Soil depth worldwide averages a mere six inches (fifteen centimeters). Soil and its underlying layers are classified into layers known as "horizons." From the surface to the bedrock, these layers are: O Horizon - The top layer of soil, composed primarily of organic material, such as the litter of leaves and plants, insects, and microorganisms.

30. The Environmental Literacy Council - Soil soils are one of the most critical natural resources. Vital, healthy soils are necessary to support plant growth and agriculture; without the oxygen and http://www.enviroliteracy.org/subcategory.php/36.html

Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Soil Soils are a mix of inorganic mineral particles, organic matter, air and water. The mineral particles – sand, silt, or clay – contain a variety of chemicals, many of which are utilized for plant growth. Organic matter, typically from plants and/or small organisms that have died and decayed, provides nutrients to the soil which are essential for fertility. The ability of soil to retain and transport water is an important factor in bringing nutrients to plants. However, plant and animal life also needs oxygen for their survival; therefore, a balance between air and water in the soil is extremely important. The composition of a soil, along with a variety of characteristics, is what makes up a soil's properties. It is these properties, and the degree to which they appear, that provide for the level of soil quality. Mineral and organic particles make up about half of a soils volume; pores containing air and water make up the remaining volume. Soils vary in composition, but generally consist of four main mineral types: sand, silt, clay, and loam. Sandy soils have a coarse texture, clay soils have a sticky texture, and silt particles, which are smaller than sand particles but larger than clay particles, give soil a silky, powdery texture. Soils in which all three minerals contribute equally to their texture are called loam soils and thought to be best for agriculture. Soil quality can also be distinguished by a variety of soil characteristics.

Where Europeans once colonized various continents and emigrated en masse to other lands both in and beyond their own continent, movement from the opposite direction has now taken hold. Capital, goods and information circulate freely in the late-capitalist, globalized world economy. For people, however, mobility is arranged somewhat differently. Borders and territories are still the primary expression of national sovereignty, however multi ethnic populations may have become. For Europe – which permanently shifts between regulating, even attracting, and then repelling strangers – these are the outer borders, the so-called Schengenland regions. No Place - Like Home (note the hyphen) investigates how inner and outer space, how 'we' and 'they' maintain complex relations with one another and the frictions this generates."

University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Home Soil Orders ... Soil Links The Twelve Soil Orders Soil Taxonomy In 1975, Soil Taxonomy was published by the United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Survey Staff. This system for classifying soils has undergone numerous changes since that time, and the 2nd edition was published in 1999. Soil Taxonomy remains one of the most widely used soil classification systems in the world. At the highest level, Soil Taxonomy places soils in one of 12 categories known as orders. We have put together a collection of information and images to illustrate the distribution, properties, ecological significance, and use of these 12 soil orders.

33. Soil Erosion Site soil erosion is a major global environmental problem. This site gives reliable and accessible information on erosion s causes, impacts, and control. http://soilerosion.net/

Soil Erosion Site What is at the Soil Erosion Site? About soil erosion Links This website Soil erosion by water, wind and tillage affects both agriculture and the natural environment. Soil loss, and its associated impacts, is one of the most important (yet probably the least well-known) of today's environmental problems BBC 2000 Guardian 2004 "The threat of nuclear weapons and man's ability to destroy the environment are really alarming. And yet there are other almost imperceptible changes - I am thinking of the exhaustion of our natural resources, and especially of soil erosion - and these are perhaps more dangerous still, because once we begin to feel their repercussions it will be too late." (p144 of The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace : 2002, Element Books, London) It isn't easy to find comprehensive information on erosion, however. To a large extent this is because soil erosion does not fit neatly under any one heading: it is studied by geomorphologists, agricultural engineers, soil scientists, hydrologists and others; and is of interest to policy-makers, farmers, environmentalists and many other individuals and groups. The Soil Erosion Site brings together reliable information on soil erosion from a wide range of disciplines and sources. It aims to be the definitive internet source for those wishing to find out more about soil loss and soil conservation.

COVERING THE LITHOSPHERE Although soil has many uses, it is really just a layer of dirt between the atmosphere and the bedrock in the tectonic plates . The top layer of the planet is called the lithosphere . Soil is the loose stuff on the surface of the lithosphere. We have talked about plate tectonics and swirling clouds in the atmosphere. In the same way those conditions change, the soil changes. It changes very slowly but very definitely. It's a very complex system that supports all of the life on land. MORE THAN DIRT Soil is much more than just dirt. It is the result of the breakdown of rocks. The breakdown is both physical and chemical. Soil is mainly something scientists call regolith . Regolith is sandwiched between the bedrock (the rock that makes up the continents) and the actual loose soil (the top stuff at the surface). If you see a tree you know its roots make it into the soil. They could even go all the way to the regolith and stop when they get to the bedrock. FROM HERE TO THERE As the process of erosion happens, some areas are built up and some areas are destroyed. The first thing to change is the soil. One extreme example would be the Grand Canyon. Over millions of years, the Colorado River has eroded and washed away tons of soil and rocks at the surface. It all went to the ocean eventually. Inland processes work the same way. The soil and rocks from the sides of a mountain move downhill and collect in the lower areas. Slowly the valleys fill up with very rich soil and minerals. Soil is always moving.
