¥@¬É¤j¤é¤l¡GWorld Soil Day

[2016.12.05] µoªí
Drought is both the cause and effect of soil erosion.

¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jToday is dedicated to soil, the so-called ¡§skin of the earth¡¨ without which life would be impossible.

¡»Problems facing our soil

Soil acidification (¤gÄ[»Ä¤Æ)

The buildup of hydrogen cations, also called protons, reduces soil's pH (»ÄÆP«×). This might reduce crop and pasture production, since the pH of the soil changes the availability of soil nutrients.

Soil sealing

Soil sealing is the covering of the ground by an impermeable (¤£³z¤ôªº) material. It is one of the main causes of soil degradation.

Soil contamination

Pesticides, herbicides and wastewater by industries can result in soil contamination, which affects the health of plants that depend on them.

Soil compaction

Soil compaction is the reduction of soil volume due to external factors (like the action of backhoes). This reduction lowers soil productivity and environmental quality.

Soil biodiversity loss

Soil biodiversity reflects the variability among living organism. They include a huge amount of organisms not visible with the naked eye, such as micro-organisms. These organisms make a lot of soil¡¦s functions possible: nutrient cycling, regulation of the dynamics of soil organic matter, and the enhancement of the amount and efficiency of nutrient acquisition, etc.

Soil erosion

The erosion of soil, a natural process caused by water and wind, contributes to a significant amount of soil loss every year.

Soil organic carbon loss

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an essential part of soil and a valuable natural resource. The loss of SOC can seriously affect the environment and the ecosystem (¥ÍºA¨t²Î).

Five pillars of action

To tackle the threats facing our soil, the Global Soil Partnership was established in December 2012, which is comprised of five ¡§pillars of action¡¨.

¡»The five pillars are:

Pillar 1

Promote sustainable management of soil resources for soil protection, conservation and sustainable productivity

Pillar 2

Encourage investment, technical cooperation, policy, education, awareness and extension in soil

Pillar 3

Promote targeted soil research and development focusing on identified gaps, priorities and synergies with related productive, environmental and social development actions

Pillar 4

Enhance the quantity and quality of soil data and information

Pillar 5

Harmonisation of methods, measurements and indicator for the sustainable management and protection of soil resources
