Explanation:

Soil is incredibly useful. It acts as a drainage system when it rains to absorb water therefore preventing floods. This drainage also filters water to clean it as minerals and micro-organisms in the soil detoxify the water of pollutants. These processes are referred to as ecosystem services, where natural processes benefit humans.

The organic matter in soils contain nutrients which are essential for plant growth, which is incredibly important to us as we need plants to eat! Vegetables, fruits, cereals all need to be grown, as well as crops to be used as feed for animals.

Micro-organisms in the soil convert toxic compounds within the soil into useful nutrients for plants. For example ammonia is converted into nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle. These micro-organisms also decompose organic matter for it to be recycled through the carbon cycle
