Answer 1

Soil fertility refers to the ability of soil to sustain agricultural plant growth, i.e. to provide plant habitat and result in sustained and consistent yields of high quality. A fertile soil has the following properties:

The ability to supply essential plant nutrients and water in adequate amounts and proportions for plant growth and reproduction; and

The absence of toxic substances which may inhibit plant growth.

The following properties contribute to soil fertility in most situations:

Sufficient soil depth for adequate root growth and water retention.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Polluted water is the creation of toxic dust is another potential of soil pollution. Contaminated soils with high level of Nitrogen and phosphorus can leach into waterways, causing algal booms, resulting in the death of aquatic plants due to depleted dissolved oxygen. Thus we can say that use of polluted water for irrigation decrease the soil fertility.
