Question

most important facts about soil conservation

Answer 1

Except for occasional rocks and gravel, sand is the largest grain of solid matter that's in soil; silt particles are smaller. Clay is important because it helps soil retain water and nutrients. Soil that has a good balance of sand, silt, and clay is called "loam," and is often considered the best soil for farming

Soil is often overlooked even though it is the foundation of a successful vegetable
garden. Growing vegetables can be tough on the soil as they are very greedy plants and take all the nutrients and minerals from it. This leaves the soil tired, used and almost useless for growing in. Soil improvers & enriching composts can be used to
combat this.

Here is our top 10 (13) list of the most interesting facts about soil…

There are more microorganisms in a handful of soil than there are people on earth
It takes 500 years to produce just under an inch of topsoil, this is the most productive layer of soil.
It greatly reduces flood risk by storing up to 9200 tonnes of water per acre. In total that’s about 0.01% of the Earth’s total water.
Soil is a living system
Soil acts as a filter for underground water, filtering out pollutants
Approximately 10% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions are stored in soil
It provides all the nutrients required for successful plant growth.
Soil consists of 45% minerals, 25% water, 25% air & 5% organic matter
As already mentioned 50% is air and water, the other 50% is broken rock and decaying plants and animals
The amount of sand, clay and silt is what gives different soil types their various textures. Most soils are a mix of all three.
Soil has 6 layers called horizons O, A, E, B, C and R. Horizon O is the topsoil and R is bedrock.
Worms enrich topsoil by feeding on organic material in the soil and converting it into nutrients for plants. As they move through the soil it becomes more absorbent and better aerated too.
Soil is at the bottom of the food chain, yet it is the cornerstone of life on earth.

Answer 2

Clay is important because it helps soil retain water and nutrients. Soil that has a good balance of sand, silt, and clay is called "loam," and is often considered the best soil for farming. Humus is the stable organic material in soil and is an important source of plant nutrients.

Soil can be drained away or contaminated, destroying it for uand. Soil conservation is important because it saves the soil through harsh weather and stops erosion. While soil is conservating it's getting more nutrients. The more we conserve soil the more crops grow, then we can sell the crops an get money

here are a couple articals i found and her is a list of way you can conserve soil erosion

planting trees.

using new farming methods.

stopping rivers flooding.

building small dams in gullies to slow down water run-off.

digging channels across farm slopes to divert water.

protecting areas likely to be eroded.

i hope this helped please give me braniest if this did
