THE QUALITY OF THE SOIL

Determine it by : Grain (particle size in the soil) – soil of sorts The quantity of humus – soil type The quantity of moisture – soil type Sites on earth – soil type Fertility – soil type Acidity and alkaline Togetherness of soil particle

TYPES OF SOILTYPES OF SOIL

Blacksoil: is a soil with a high content of humus (humic horizon 60-80 cm depth), the best in the world, provides a record grain yields

Brownsoil: is a fertile land, humus content is less than blacksoil, surrounded by blacksoil, used in agriculture

Podsol: is a little acid fertile land cold and humid nordic coniferous forests

ACIDITY AND ALKALINITYACIDITY AND ALKALINITY

Number, which in chemistry express, the aqueous solution responds acidly or vice versa alkalicly

COMPARISONCOMPARISON

From two different places, we removed samples of soil and measured the pH

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSIONTheory Reality

Theoreticly the clay should be acid and the peat should bealkalic. The measurement showed different result.Based on our experiment we can say that both material (clay & peat) are acid.

Explanation: This is clear proof that pedosphere is already afected by human activities (fertilization, chemistry,…)

GENERAL INFLUENCE OF HUMAN

DEVASTATIONDEVASTATION

destruction of soil The devastation keep inappropriate

interference in the soil Most relief affects the landscape and

destroys the land

EFFECT OF HUMANEFFECT OF HUMAN Extensive and deep tillage Excessive use of fertilizers (especially mineral

fertilizers) Chemical means against weeds, diseases and pests of

plants Soil compaction by heavy machinery Amending relief landscape : roads quarries

surface mines other structures

Indirectly acting on the ground : sional qualifications forests

amending plant communities

IMPLICATIONS OF HUMAN

IMPLICATIONS OF HUMAN

Increased erosion Less of humus Changes: height of groundwater level physical and chemical characteristics of soil

Exacerbate the conditions for life in the soil

REVITALIZATIONREVITALIZATION

strengthening, revitalizing the soil To lead the revitalization of appropriate

interventions in the land Acting against erosion (such as building

terraces on steep slopes) Lead to a permanent soil fertility by

increasing humus in the soil (good compost fertilizer, barnyard manures and fertilizer, adequate liming, etc.)
