Seafriends - Soil: use, sustainability and conservation
Soil is not only our most important resource, but also the most maligned and misunderstood. The world population will double in a mere forty years, but agricultural output is not keeping up with demand. In the process, precious soil is lost, waterways and coastal seas polluted. Humans obviously need to be much more knowledgeable about this problem. What is soil? Where does it come from? What kinds of soil exist? Are all soils fertile? How does soil work? Can all places on the planet be farmed? How much food can the planet make? How do we lose soil? How can we prevent erosion? What damage is caused by erosion? What is sustainability? Can soil be farmed sustainably? What can we do?
introduction
Introduction to this section on soil and erosion. If you're in a hurry, read this first. (on this page, 4 pages) dependence The human race depends on its agricultural soil for food. As the population doubles and the soils degrade, it will become a race between technology and dwindling natural resources in order to save mankind. (9 pages) geology Soils originate from the cauldron of Earth and are recycled and redistributed by the conveyor belts of plate tectonics. Although basic elements are fairly evenly spread, the rocks that contain them, are not. Soil is formed very slowly from the bedrock, under influence of climate and life. (10 pages)

Abstract
This paper focuses on twenty eight medicinally important leafy vegetables documented from the South western part of Nigeria . It also highlights their medicinal importance in the treatment of minor ailments as well as their sources. The family Compositae Asteraceae ) contained the highest number of plants followed by the Cucurbitaceae , Malvaceae and Solanaceae. Sixty eight percent of the documented vegetables are cultivated, eleven percent is usually obtained in the wild while twenty one percent is either cultivated or obtained from the wild. The need for concern on the conservation of genetic resources of these plants (especially those in the wild) is stressed in order to safeguard them for future generations and avoid their genetic erosion. The establishment of a gene/seed bank for vegetables is advocated. Key Words: Leafy vegetables, Medicine, Conservation, Nigeria Introduction There is currently a global attention on the conservation and sustainability of the rich biodiversity of the tropical rainforest.

Intermix WUI are areas where housing and vegetation intermingle; interface WUI are areas with housing in the vicinity of contiguous wildland vegetation. In maps of the whole US and the large regions, the WUI is shown in just one color, but in state (or in a few cases, multi-state) maps, we use different colors to show interface and intermix WUI.

http://sustainable.state.fl.us/fdi/fscc/resource/articles/aboutsus.htm
What is "Sustainability"?
"Sustainability . . . implies that the overall level of diversity and overall productivity of components and relations in systems are maintained or enhanced."
- Richard Norgaard, 1988
"Sustainability requires at least a constant stock of natural capital, construed as the set of all environmental assets."
- David Pearce, 1988
"Sustainability is the [emerging] doctrine that economic growth and development must take place, and be maintained over time, within the limits set by ecology in the broadest senseby the interrelations of human beings and their works, and the biosphere... It follows that environmental protection and economic development are complementary rather than antagonistic processes."
- William D. Ruckelshaus - Scientific American, September 1989
"Sustainability is the ability of a system to sustain the livelihood of the people who depend on that system for an indefinite period."
- Otto Soemarwoto, 1991
"Sustainability is the fundamental root metaphor that can oppose the notion of continued exponential material growth."
- Ernest Callenbach, 1992
