2. Soil structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_structure

   The benefits of improving soil structure for the growth of plants, particularly in an agricultural setting, include: reduced erosion due to greater soil aggregate strength and decreased overland flow; improved root penetration and access to soil moisture and nutrients; improved emergence of seedlings due to reduced crusting of the surface; and ...

3. Soil management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_management

   Nutrient management can help to improve the fertility of the soil and the amount of organic matter content, which improves soil structure and function. Tilling the soil, or tillage, is the breaking of soil, such as with a plough or harrow, to prepare the soil for new seeds. Tillage systems vary in intensity and disturbance. Conventional tillage ...

4. Soil regeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_regeneration

   Organic amendments improve biological activity, water permeability, and soil structure. [4] Mulch, for example, reduces erosion and helps to maintain the temperature of the soil. [3] Compost is rich in organic matter, [4] it is composed of decomposed matter such as food, vegetation, and animal wastes. [3]

6. Soil conservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_conservation

   Degraded soil requires synthetic fertilizer to produce high yields. Lacking structure increases erosion and carries nitrogen and other pollutants into rivers and streams. [8] Each one percent increase in soil organic matter helps soil hold 20,000 gallons more water per acre. [8]

7. Cover crop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_crop

   Soil erosion is a process that can irreparably reduce the productive capacity of an agroecosystem. Cover crops reduce soil loss by improving soil structure and increasing infiltration, protecting the soil surface, scattering raindrop energy, and reducing the velocity of the movement of water over the soil surface. [5]

9. Polymer soil stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_soil_stabilization

   Polymer soil stabilization refers to the addition of polymers to improve the physical properties of soils, most often for geotechnical engineering, construction, or agricultural projects. [1] Even at very small concentrations within soils, various polymers have been shown to increase water retention and reduce erosion, increase soil shear ...
