  2. Soil quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_quality

    The physical category of soil quality indicators consists of tests that measure soil texture, bulk density, porosity, water content at saturation, aggregate stability, penetration resistance, and more. [9] These measures provide hydrological information, such the level of water infiltration and water availability to plants.

  3. Soil health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_health

    Soil health testing is pursued as an assessment of this status [1] but tends to be confined largely to agronomic objectives. Soil health depends on soil biodiversity (with a robust soil biota), and it can be improved via soil management, especially by care to keep protective living covers on the soil and by natural (carbon-containing) soil ...

  4. Soil contamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_contamination

    Ingesting dust or soil directly; Ingesting food or vegetables grown in contaminated soil or with foods in contact with contaminants; Skin contact with dust or soil; Vapors from the soil; Inhaling clouds of dust while working in soils or windy environments; However, some studies estimate that 90% of exposure is through eating contaminated food. [16]

  5. Soil resilience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_resilience

    Soil resistance, a related term refers to the ability of soil to resist changes or the extent to which a soil will recover from any cropping or management change. The term is distinct from Soil resilience as resistance is the inherent capacity to withstand disturbance, while resilience is the capacity to recover after disturbance. [1] [2]

  6. Environmental monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_monitoring

    Soil salinity monitoring helps researchers identify patterns and trends in soil salt content. Both the natural process of seawater intrusion and the human-induced processes of inappropriate soil and water management can lead to salinity problems in soil, with up to one billion hectares of land affected globally (as of 2013). [28]

  7. Soil test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

    In geotechnical engineering, a soil test can be used to determine the physical characteristics of a soil, such as its water content, void ratio or bulk density. Soil testing can also provide information related to the shear strength, rate of consolidation and permeability of the soil. The following is a non-exhaustive list of engineering soil ...

  8. Contaminants of emerging concern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminants_of_emerging...

    Adverse human health effects have been associated with a compound. There is an established relationship between the positive and negative effect(s) of the compound. Emerging contaminants are those which have not previously been detected through water quality analysis, or have been found in small concentrations with uncertainty as to their effects.

  9. Environmental health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_health

    It consists of three categories: health impacts, air quality, and water and sanitation. The health impacts category includes the environmental risk exposure indicator. Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment affecting human health.
