On a global basis, soil degradation is caused primarily by overgrazing (35%), agricultural activities (28%), deforestation (30%), overexploitation of land to produce fuelwood (7%), and industrialization (4%). #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Multiple forms of land degradation that are currently impacting agricultural regions all over the world pose a threat to global food security. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

When land quality deteriorates, the ground loses some of its capacity to absorb water. More water (perhaps laden with sediments, which exacerbate the problem) will flow into streams, rivers, & other water bodies, increasing the risk of flooding. #SaveSoil

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Soil degradation has far-reaching negative consequences, including landslides, flooding, desertification, water contamination, and a drop in food production worldwide. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector faces a variety of direct implications daily. #SaveSoil

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Unfavorable changes in soil chemistry (caused, particularly, by synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) diminish plant nutrition: beneficial microbes and humus content decline; and the pH of the ground shifts. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Decreased microbial activity due to destructive biochemical reactions, especially in bare/unprotected earth, reduces yields and makes land less amenable to crop cultivation. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

Once disturbed beyond a critical level, soils are at risk of entering a downward spiral toward an alternative, degraded state, characterized by a loss of soil functions and services including the ability to provide food for humanity and sustain human life on earth. #SaveSoil

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Healthy soils provide essential ecosystem services such as food production and can help us achieve several Sustainable Development Goals, including zero hunger, clean water, sanitation, life on land, flood regulation, and conservation of biodiversity. #SaveSoil

[raghavan @raghavanma]

The degradation of the world’s soils has already released up to 78 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere (one gigaton is equivalent to the mass of 10,000 fully loaded U.S. aircraft carriers). #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Healthy soils have a degree of resilience that allows them to maintain structure and function in the face of repeated disturbance, including temperature perturbation, compaction, and pollution. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[raghavan @raghavanma]

Many countries have managed to move towards more comprehensive legal frameworks that address the soil threats caused by a multitude of human activities, & have adopted national Soil Acts, but they are still in a minority. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange
