What to Focus On

  • Soil supports plant growth and food webs.
  • Soil is formed by weathering and long-term natural processes.
  • Soil fertility decreases if nutrients are not replaced.
  • Soil erosion means movement of soil by water or wind.
  • Topsoil is the most fertile layer and is lost first.
  • Rain is the largest cause of erosion.
  • Terracing is an erosion control technique for hills.
  • Contour ploughing follows contour lines.
  • Dry farming is useful in arid areas.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Soil erosion means soil becomes poor in quality only, not that soil is physically removed.

Afforestation and reforestation mean the same thing.

Terracing, contour ploughing, bunds, and contour trenching are just different names for the same soil conservation method.
