Soil: A Critical Resource

The Soil provides nutrients, water, oxygen and heat to natural land areas. Understanding the
ability and capacity of soil to support an ecosystem plays an important role in land
management decisions. Air is a third critical resource for humans, plants, animals and all
other organisms within a natural area.

And soil is a critical resource is that Soil is the living ecosystem. Without soil, there is no
existence of life. In our Vedas, it is said that life form on this earth consists of five elements
and soil is one of them. So, creation of life form belongs to soil, development of life form
belongs to soil, destruction of life form belongs to soil.

And soil has been called “the skin of the earth” the condition and nature of a soil reflect the
both ancient environment under which it formed and today’s environmental condition a soil is
an exceptional example of the integration,interdependence, and overlap among earth
subsystem because the characteristics of a soil reflect the atmospherice,hydrologic,lithologic,
and biotic condition which it developed.

And soil is also home to many living organism that affect their living environment,both
above and below the ground surface.
