Soil - The living skin of planet earth

Research output: Other contribution › Pamphlet

Abstract

Soils are vulnerable. The largest disruption and destruction is caused by humans. It is not a new phenomenon as soil degradation took place in the early civilisations in the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates. A major threat is soil erosion by which the soil is removed often exposing unweathered rock. Soil erosion arises from poor land management activities, for example cultivating steeply sloping land
