The evaluation and survey of soil and underground exploitation works.

Indicators toolbox and visual soil assessment tool

Good earth. Rich earth.

The only available global assessment of soil degradation is the UNEP and ISRIC Global Assessment of Soil Degradation (GLASOD) study carried out during the 1980s at a scale of 1 5 million.

Data from GLASOD and the SOTER and the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) programmes will be used to produce a first updated global assessment.

Dirt. Earth. Soil.

Agricultural soils

Agricultural soils

These Visual Soil Assessment (VSA) indicators are morphological and measured soil characteristics that allow for the transfer of information between sites, soil types, land uses etc., while providing a cross check and physical reality to structure descriptors.

The results have been compiled in Arc Info format and a revised GLASOD map could now be produced by FAO.

The soil is extremely good.

The earth says it's high time...

China has also contributed to improving the methodological framework by testing the VSA indicators for local assessment.

Clean soil is a critical problem the nitrification, the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico.

Selamatkan Tanah kita

The soil here is fertile.

Using more recent material, readily available, the GLASOD study has been improved by LADA.

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.

(c) Environment land degradation, soil erosion, forestry, biodiversity, coastal deterioration, natural disasters and heritage.

I've been building topsoil.

This is how soil is created.

Intensive farming is depleting soils.

Steaming piles of humus.

N2O from agricultural soils

China focused on the development of participatory approaches rather than on technical issues and the testing of VSA indicators.

So, it stays under the soil.

Soil erosion (by wind and water).

(a) Delineation of natural resources relating to pedology and soil conservation (at the local level, with regional help)

Because just that soil could make the acoustic difference.

Promotion of agroforestry and soil conservation

(a) Resources water, soil, iron ore deposits, construction materials

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

In collaboration with Columbia University, Ben Gurion University had also designed interferometric radars to monitor dune and sand migration and evaluate the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami and the quality of water in the Red Sea.

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.

Saudi Arabia seeks compensation based on the numbers of birds and marine mammals which were killed but it does not estimate the effects of the deaths on population levels or the times needed for the recovery of the affected populations.

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