State Soils Policy Soils: Our Precious Resource Soils are essential to terrestrial life on this planet. We depend on soils to produce food, fibres and building materials. Soils in good condition will grow healthy plants, maintain or improve the quality of water, reduce the effects of floods and help remove pollution and waste from the environment. Australian soils generally have properties that make their management somewhat difficult. They are often characterised by low fertility, with most plant nutrients occurring in the surface zone. Except for those soils that have native leguminous vegetation, nitrogen levels can be critically low. Many Australian soils have physical problems. They can be hardsetting and are often characterised by fine-textured, tough subsoils with restricted waterholding capacity. Some subsoils never wet up properly and others can have high mechanical impedance or poor aeration and often high salinity resulting in poorly developed root systems. Nor is the Australian climate conducive to production and retention of high levels of organic matter; organic matter is generally very low. It is important that we value and conserve our soils so they will continue to be useful in the future.

    Extractions: Ever heard of a "watershed"? Although everyone lives in a watershed , most people don't know the actual meaning of the word. Put simply, a watershed is all the land that drains into a given body of water. This body of water can be a creek, pond, river or ocean. Generally speaking, the larger the body of water, the larger its watershed. The Chesapeake Bay watershed, for example, covers 64,000 square miles and drains from six states including 60 percent of Virginia. The map above depicts the Old Dominion's major river watersheds (there are 497 subwatersheds). One thing all of these watersheds have in common is people, and where you have people, you have land altering activity. When we alter land - to farm, to build, to landscape, for transportation - we must take care to make sure our land use changes aren't causing runoff pollution problems for either other people or plants and animals downstream that depend on clean, usable water. The technical term for this form of pollution is

Beneficial Practices Biodiversity Our Approach Habitat Conservation Species Conservation Beneficial Practices You are here: PFRA Online Healthy Soils Caring for our soil resources is becoming increasingly critical as the supply of dependable agricultural land decreases from competition by other uses, such as urban development. Healthy soils are key to producing good harvests of crops, and minimizes expenses such as fertilizer and pest control. If we let agricultural soils become degraded, there will be no new soil to take its place. Although progress has been made in improving the health of some of our agricultural soils, soil degradation remains a serious concern today. PFRA has determined that more than 50% of annually cropped fields are exposed to erosion by wind, water and tillage each year on the Prairies. Extreme weather events, such as high winds, heavy rains, and consecutive years of drought can cause significant erosion damage and loss of soil productivity . New solutions are needed to further reduce soil degradation on the Prairies. Maintaining and improving soil quality will provide economic benefits in the form of increased productivity, more efficient use of nutrients and pesticides, improvement in water and air quality and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

    http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/academic/factsheets/ag/soilsci.shtml
    
    Extractions: Soil and water are our most important resources. They provide the food, fiber and foundation of our existence. Soil science is the study of the soil as a component of natural and man-made systems. Soil science is the key factor in food production and is at the forefront of environmental and natural resource issues such as land use, soil contamination, ground water quality and waste disposal. Soil science is an earth science that combines the studies of the atmosphere, surface and subsurface waters, mineral earth deposits and biological ecosystems. This natural science emphasizes the real world applications of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Each student designs their own program according to his or her personal abilities, interests, and career goals. Soil science graduates gain an appreciation of agriculture production, environmental concerns and natural resource issues. Research in the Department of Soil Science is cutting edge. Several faculty lead the nation and world in environmental earth sciences, wetlands and soil fertility. This research expands our understanding of pollutant movement in soils, the maintenance and reconstruction of wetland habitats, and the production of crops from soybeans to sugar beets.

    Extractions: The natural habitat for all wildlife is dependent upon maintaining a healthy soil structure in terms of chemical and biological aspects. Understanding and using sustainable land and river catchment management practices is therefore of major importance in retaining a vibrant and diverse wildlife. The natural diversity of British soils offers opportunities for the re-creation of species-rich habitats and landscapes but processes such as nutrient-enrichment and hydrological alteration are a threat.
