What is soil made of?• Soil is made up of
minerals, organic matter, air, and water.
• Soil composition is influenced by climate, organisms, landforms, parent material, and time
![Page 9: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Soil Composition • Soil is a thin layer
over most land that is a complex mix of rock, nutrients, decaying matter, water, air and billions of organisms…many microscopic decomposers
![Page 10: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why is soil important?• Renewable
resource…SLOW• Depends upon
climate (1cm in 15yrs.)
• Basis of life• Filters water• Water storage• Habitat

Soil Formation•Weathering: Physical and
chemical breaking of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces
•Erosion and deposition: Pick-up, transport, and drop-off of material from one place to another
•Decomposition: Breakdown of waste, organisms, and organic material into simple molecules
![Page 13: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Soil Horizons• Soil horizons are
distinct layers of soil.
• A cross-section of soil horizons is a soil profile.
• “A” Most Critical
![Page 15: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Did You Know? In general, organic matter is concentrated in the O and A horizons, making them the most critical for agriculture.
![Page 16: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Soil Characteristics • Soil groups are
further classified according to properties such as color, structure, pH, and texture.• Soil texture is based
on particle size.

Soil Erosion
• Often occurs faster than soil is formed, depleting fertile topsoil• Crops, trees, and
other plant communities protect soil from erosion.
![Page 33: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Did You Know? More than 19 billion hectares (47 billion acres) of the world’s croplands suffer from erosion and other forms of soil degradation resulting from human activities.
![Page 34: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Impacts of Soil Erosion• Loss of soil fertility• Sediment runoff causes
problems in surface water (pollution, clog ditches, boat channels, reservoirs)
• #1 source of U.S. water pollution
• Renewable only on LONG timeframes (200-1,000yrs. for 1 inch)
![Page 35: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What time of year do you think most farm fields in U.S. are vulnerable to erosion?
![Page 36: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Farming Practices That Reduce Erosion
• Intercropping: Different crops mixed together
• Crop rotation: Crops are alternated.
• Shelterbelts: Tall plants block wind.
• Conservation tillage: Soil turnover is reduced.
• Terracing: Steep slopes turned into “steps”
![Page 39: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Tillage vs. Conservation Tillage

Contour and Strip Cropping
![Page 41: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ranching Practices• Ranching is the raising and
grazing of livestock.
• Overgrazing causes and worsens many soil problems.
• Range managers encourage grazing limits and enforce them on publicly owned land.
![Page 42: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Forestry Practices• Forestry practices,
such as clear-cutting, can increase erosion.
• Today, practices that reduce soil erosion, such as selective logging, are increasingly common.
![Page 44: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Soil Pollution• Too much, or carelessly
timed irrigation can waterlog crops and lead to salinization—a buildup of salts in upper soil horizons.
• Toxic pesticides can remain in soil for a long time, eventually filtering to groundwater.

The Green Revolution• Introduced new technology, crop
varieties, and farming practices to the developing world in the mid- to late 1900s
Benefits:
• Increased crop yields and saved millions of people from starvation in India and Pakistan
• Prevented some deforestation and habitat loss by increasing yields on cultivated land
![Page 61: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Green RevolutionCosts:• Led to a 7000% increase in energy used by
agriculture
• Worsened erosion, salinization, desertification, eutrophication, and pollution
![Page 62: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Pests and Weed Control (Farmers Enemies)
• Chemical pesticides: Effective and cheap, but can lead to resistance
![Page 63: Chapter 12 Soil and Agriculture Mr. Manskopf Class Web Site Http://.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c1a6b550346b24f8b5897/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

•Biological pest control: Permanent solution, but can harm nontarget organisms
•Integrated pest management: Increasingly popular solution, combines chemical and biological pest-control methods
Pests and Weed Control
Cactus moth larvae are used to control prickly pear cactus, but also threaten many rare, native cacti around the world.

Human NeedsLarge amounts of
macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats)
Small amounts of micronutrients (A, C, E, iron, iodine, calcium)
• Chronic under nutrition: disease increase, stunted growth etc.
• Malnutrition: can not get enough protein mainly eating corn, rice, wheat
• Huge childhood problem

MalnutritionUN Estimates:• 5.5 million each year die
prematurely due to effects of under nutrition.
• Each day 15,100 people --- 80% of which are children
• In U.S. estimates are 11 million do not have access to enough food

Over nutrition Food intake exceeds
energy use and causes body fat
• Too many calories not enough exercise
• Lower life expectancy, heart disease, lower productivity and quality of life
• In developed countries it is 2nd leading preventable cause of death after smoking
