Abstract

Soil protection refers to preventing erosion of the soil's surface layer, as well as decreased fertility due to overuse, acidification, salinization, or other chemical soil pollution. Farmers may use soil management practises to avoid soil erosion and increase organic matter levels. Crop rotation, reduced tillage, mulching, cover cropping, and cross-slope planting are examples of these methods. Organic matter content, soil composition, and rooting depth should all be increased by farmers.
