| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chemical alteration, overuse, acidification, salinization, and other types of chemical soil contamination lead to the erosion of soil's fertile top layer. Soil conservation is a set of strategies used to protect this fertile top layer and its nutrients. This layer is essential because it supports crop cultivation, and indicates the ecosystem health of an area. This book describes various methods of soil conservation like contour plowing, reforestation, strip farming, and mulching.
