All right,let’s clear up one thing about dirt we like to call it soil. http://www.blm.gov/nstc/soil/

Soil Biological Communities The Dirt on Dirt Soil is filled with life. Whole communities, some of them very complex and with distinct functions, are literally right under our feet. In fact, the majority of rangeland ecosystem diversity occurs below-ground and up to 90 percent of the total productivity of rangelands occurs in the soil. Think of that shovel full of soil as hiding a thriving, dynamic, and very busy community, with different organisms filling important roles to make the whole thing work. Once you have viewed our site, if you want to know more about soils and soil biological communities talk to a Bureau of Land Management soil scientist. They are trained to understand the complex workings of soils and how the health of the soils on our public lands can be maintained. So come with us to discover another world; the world of soil biological communities.

Seafriends soil use, sustainability and conservation. http://www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/

Seafriends - Soil: use, sustainability and conservation Soil is not only our most important resource, but also the most maligned and misunderstood. The world population will double in a mere forty years, but agricultural output is not keeping up with demand. In the process, precious soil is lost, waterways and coastal seas polluted. Humans obviously need to be much more knowledgeable about this problem. What is soil? Where does it come from? What kinds of soil exist? Are all soils fertile? How does soil work? Can all places on the planet be farmed? How much food can the planet make? How do we lose soil? How can we prevent erosion? What damage is caused by erosion? What is sustainability? Can soil be farmed sustainably? What can we do? introduction Introduction to this section on soil and erosion. If you're in a hurry, read this first. (on this page, 4 pages) dependence The human race depends on its agricultural soil for food. As the population doubles and the soils degrade, it will become a race between technology and dwindling natural resources in order to save mankind. (9 pages) geology Soils originate from the cauldron of Earth and are recycled and redistributed by the conveyor belts of plate tectonics. Although basic elements are fairly evenly spread, the rocks that contain them, are not. Soil is formed very slowly from the bedrock, under influence of climate and life. (10 pages)

74. Geoindicators: Soil And Sediment Erosion Basic information about erosion patterns, causes, and solutions.Category Science Agriculture soils Erosion......link to GCRIO Home NAME soil and sediment erosion Where land use causessoil disturbance, erosion may increase greatly above natural rates. http://www.gcrio.org/geo/soil.html

NAME: Soil and sediment erosion BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Erosion, the detachment of particles of soil and surficial sediments and rocks, occurs by hydrological (fluvial) processes of sheet erosion, rilling and gully erosion, and through mass wasting and the action of wind [see sediment geochemistry and stratigraphy stream sediment storage and load wind erosion ]. Erosion, both fluvial and eolian (wind) is generally greatest in arid and semi-arid regions, where soil is poorly developed and vegetation provides relatively little protection. Where land use causes soil disturbance, erosion may increase greatly above natural rates. In uplands, the rate of soil and sediment erosion approaches that of denudation (the lowering of the Earth's surface by erosional processes). In many areas, however, the storage of eroded sediment on hillslopes of lower inclination, in bottomlands, and in lakes and reservoirs, leads to rates of stream sediment transport much lower than the rate of denudation. When runoff occurs, less water enters the ground, thus reducing crop productivity. Soil erosion also reduces the levels of the basic plant nutrients needed for crops, trees and other plants, and decreases the diversity and abundance of soil organisms. Stream sediment degrades water supplies for municipal and industrial use, and provides an important transporting medium for a wide range of chemical pollutants that are readily sorbed on sediment surfaces. Increased turbidity of coastal waters due to sediment load may adversely affect organisms such as benthic algae, corals and fish.

Welcome Spotlight Gulf Guardian Award It's Time ... GMP Information What on Earth is Soil? Soil makes up the outermost layer of our planet. Topsoil is the most productive soil layer. Soil has varying amounts of organic matter (living and dead organisms), minerals, and nutrients. Five tons of topsoil spread over an acre is only as thick as a dime. Natural processes can take more than 500 years to form one inch of topsoil. Soil scientists have identified over 70,000 kinds of soil in the United States. Soil is formed from rocks and decaying plants and animals. An average soil sample is 45 percent minerals, 25 percent water, 25 percent air, and five percent organic matter. Different-sized mineral particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, give soil its texture. Fungi and bacteria help break down organic matter in the soil.

Superfund Recent Additions Contact Us Print Version Search: EPA Home Superfund Sites Programs ... Conferences Soil Screening Guidance The Soil Screening Guidance (SSG) presents a framework for developing risk-based, soil screening levels (SSLs) for protection of human health. The framework provides a flexible, tiered approach to site evaluation and screening level development. The SSG focuses on a simple methodology for developing site-specific screening levels, but also includes detailed models and generic SSLs to be used where site conditions warrant. Screening levels are not national cleanup levels; instead, they are intended to be used to streamline the evaluation and cleanup of site soils by helping site managers eliminate areas, pathways and/or chemicals of concern at National Priority List sites. The SSG is presented in three documents: 1) a Quick Reference Fact Sheet , which provides an overview of the development and use of the soil screening levels; 2) a User’s Guide , which provides details for implementing the simple, site-specific methodology for calculating site-specific SSLs; and
