Soils sustain life [SSSA motto]
Soils contain nutrients released from bedrock or bio-accumulated, which are used by plants. Soils have the capacity to store water, which determines its availability to plants and regulates the outflow of water into the rivers. Soils have a sanitary- by the sorption or decay of the contaminants. The soils are home tomicro- and macro-organisms, which both make use of soil fertility, but on the other hand, are the engineof all biochemical processes such as weathering of rocks and minerals, organic matter decomposition, the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, etc. The soils permanently transform, and with them are changingecosystems. Soils are natural resources whose protection is necessary for the sustainabledevelopment of human civilization function .So is anybody else surprised that so many people passionate about soil?
