Why do we conserve soil?

it is necessary because we depend on soil for all our basic needs like food etc.

We need to conserve soil because it is a vital part of the ecosystem. Without good soil we cannot produce enough food and food is essential for life. Soil is essential for the growth of plants and trees, they help in purifying the air. Then herbivores feed on these plants. After these herbivores grow and flourish they will be consumed as food by the carnivores. When the carnivores die they'll be decomposed into simpler substances, and the nutrients will be returned to the soil.

So, basically everything is interdependent in our ecosystem.

We conserve soil because it's precious

 soil conservation is very important for us as it supports life.

we should conserv the soil to protect our lives.

plants are grown in the soil.

soil gives:

1. shelter to animals

2. clothes

3. vegetables and fruits.

By planting trees

 plants are grown on soil. we are dependent on plants for a lot things like food, wood, oxygen etc. so, if we will not conserve soil, there would be less plants, and so the objects we get from plants. 

Exposed topsoil is gradually eroded and the earth loses 1-2 inches of fertile soil every year. This may be due to harsh weather conditions, washing away of topsoil by heavy rains or even loss of loose soil during the windy seasons. Here are some ways in which an individual can help prevent the earths precious topsoil from being eroded.

The seven steps to protect soil are as follow:-

Plant grass and ground cover in huge expansive gardens and on sports fields.These are areas frequently damaged by strong winds and heavy rainfall. The intact roots of lawn grass or ground cover will help retain the soil when these areas are exposed to strong winds and rains.

Never leave embankments or sloped gardens bare and exposed.These can be covered with cobblestones or rocks to create a natural looking stone or rocky effect. Alternatively the sandy area can be chopped in layers to accommodate flowers or shrubs to cover topsoil completely. The nature or types of shrubs should be able to have a strong root system in order to keep the soil intact.

Ensure that homes and other buildings have adequate draining and water collection systems.This will refer to gutters or pipes that can drain water effectively into manhole drainage systems. During heavy rainstorms, gushing water washes away all the topsoil, leaving the roads and driveways ridden with sand. These are eventually swept or thrown away, leading to a waste of precious soil. Adequate drainage will also prevent the flow of gushing water in and around your property.

Adopt a small piece of land outside your property as your own.Land or Town board/Government owned properties are often most neglected and highly prone to soil erosion. These include the areas immediately outside boundary walls or fences. Plant flowers or trees as they will also add beauty to your immediate environment. At the same time the loose soil will be protected from harsh weather conditions.

Create an awareness among children and younger adults.This can be done by involving schools, libraries, shopping malls or any other place that younger people frequent, to engage in talks, distribute fliers etc. These events should be fun orientated to get younger people interested and more involved.

Create a dislike for bare and open spaces around your home, schools, universities etc.Get directly involved by suggesting to authorities by giving them ideas or suggestions on how to cover up these open spaces. Donate your services in terms of time , labor, planting etc in order to make your own personal contribution.

Build a retaining wall or fence around your property.These can serve as effective windbreakers, reducing the possibility of sand storms in your area.
