The study focused on saline and sodic lands but other degradation processes of great importance in Kenya include fertility decline, soil acidification and aluminium toxicity, organic matter decline, wind and water erosion, and soil compaction.

Good earth. Rich earth.

Dirt. Earth. Soil.

Agricultural soils

Agricultural soils

The soil is extremely good.

Civil Soil

In many places, atmospheric moisture depends on the storage of water in the soil.

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.

The earth says it's high time...

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

Another major gap will still persist in the monitoring of soil moisture.

Indeed, approximately 550 million tons of soil, including some 9 million tons of precious minerals such as phosphates, magnesium and nitrogen, were lost every year to erosion.

Radar observation can also be used for soil studies (particularly for soil humidity measurements), an area in which INTA has long and valuable experience.

The soil here is fertile.

Then, if we added maps like the geology, the bedrock geology, and the surface geology, what the glaciers leave, if we make the soil map, with the 17 soil classes, that are defined by the National Conservation Service, if we make a digital elevation model of the topography that tells us how high the hills were, then we can calculate the slopes.

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.

Soils whose moisture content evolves differently during the year may be differentiated using multiple date images.

No standards exist for density of planting, soils, or planting material for fruit and vegetables.

Soil protection can be maximized through the use of direct sowing methods for energy crops.

Dogs can distinguish two very similar fatty acids, extremely diluted caprylic acid and caproic acid.

(c) Agriculture and forestry, including forest inventory and monitoring (especially mapping of old growth forests and forestry on hilly areas) crop identification and monitoring harvest forecasting crop suitability soil classification (with emphasis on soil moisture and soil suitability measurements) mangrove cover and land cover

(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

I can't help it! Stronger than any acid.

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.

This was part of Phase 1 (2002 2003) examples of activities included mathematical models for nitrate transfer, preparation of vulnerability maps, and establishing a soil and water database.

Acidification causes changes in the chemical composition of the soil, damages vegetation and the built environment and adversely affects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
