Rapid degradation of organic soils<\/strong> is increasingly affecting the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie, one of Canada<\/strong>‘s key agricultural regions. For this area that is famous for its particularly fertile soils, this is a worrying phenomenon that, if no action is taken, could seriously jeopardize agricultural production. That’s according to an article<\/a> published in the website The Conversation by researchers from Laval University<\/strong>, Quebec, who have been conducting studies on the processes occurring in the fields for years.<\/p>\n Here, they explain, a combination of natural events and agricultural practices<\/strong> that promote the oxygenation and decomposition of organic matter promotes soil degradation. With the risk of making them useless within 50 years.<\/p>\n
