The report provides a good snapshot of some of the major soil degradation problems. The paper also highlighted the importance of soil organic matter and how the decline of soil organic matter is accelerating salinity problems as well as fertility problems.

Soil erosion, fertility depletion, salinization, waterlogging and the lowering of the groundwater table have also been recognized as important land degradation problems in Malaysia.

The authors identified the important land degradation processes in Uzbekistan as (1) secondary salinization of irrigated lands, (2) flooding and waterlogging of irrigated lands, (3) loss of organic matter and fertility decline in soils, (4) widespread occurrence of erosion in irrigated soils, (5) soil pollution, and (6) aerosol transport of salt and dust from the dry bed of the Aral sea.

To give just one example, in Peru harsh local environments, characterized by depleted saline soils and high altitudes, have traditionally caused many crops to fail.

We've talked about the soil erosion.

This is very good soil.

Background information on structure and or content In table 5 (II), Parties may choose to report N2O emissions from the drainage of soils from two land use categories, Forest Land and Wetlands, for both organic and mineral soils, if they wish to do so.

This is how soil is created.

The Uzbekistan study focuses on salinity and how to map salinity.

I'm preparing a report on soil erosion at the moment.

And thousands of tons of it are being washed away every year.

The major land degradation problems in Egypt are related to hydrological constraints which cause waterlogging, salinity and alkalinity, physical constraints such as deterioration of the soil structure and compaction, and biological constraints caused by a decline in soil organic matter leading to declining soil fertility.

Intensive forestry is depleting the soil and exposing it to erosion.

Now, because the fate of water and carbon are tied to soil organic matter, when we damage soils, you give off carbon.

We stopped irrigating our soil, as much as we could.
