Benefits of Soil Conservation
- Soil quality depends on a healthy, diverse ecosystem above ground. Plant biomass is the main source of energy for nearly all terrestrial life, including the many species of fungi, bacteria, worms, insects, nematodes, and other living organisms below ground. Maintaining plant biodiversity “in the face of environmental change is fundamental for maintaining terrestrial ecosystem functioning.” Soil conservation depends on ecosystem protection.
- Soil sustains life: Soil is the source of essentially EVERYTHING. For example, wool may come from sheep and pencils from trees, but what these two have in common are that they both rely on plants that grow in the soil for their nourishment.
- Soil carries out a range of functions and services without which human life would not be possible.
- Provides food and shelter
