Subsidence, or the lowering of the land surface due to the removal of material from underground, impacts 25 percent of the Planet’s population, U.S. researchers have found
A U.S. study hypothesizes the existence of an “amplifying cycle” involving drought, soil desiccation and CO2 emissions. A mechanism that climate models do not seem to take into account
In the UK, scientists and farmers are collaborating to monitor and evaluate soil-root interactions. Their goal is to increase productivity and improve soil health
Researchers want to exploit biochar’s ability to absorb heavy metals. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently at work on the soils of a former mine
It’s beneath our feet but we never think about its value. We tread on it, we mistreat it, but a healthy, fertile soil means life. It’s time to take care of the soil and each one of us can and must make a difference.
