“You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. it will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.” -Jacob Bronowski “Soil, like air, like water is a natural resource that we must protect in order to have a future on planet earth” -Terry Cooper “The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself” -Franklin D. Roosevelt What is Soil? Latin word Solum means ‘floor’ or ‘Ground’ S= Surface of earth 0= Organic matter I= Inorganic matter L= Living organism
Layman Dirt and unconsolidated rock Oxford dictionary Top layer of the earth in which plants, trees etc grows Civil Engineer Any earthy materials over bedrocks, which support foundations, roads, and airport run- ways and any buildings on the surface of the earth Mining Engineer Unwanted or rubbish materials, which cover the minerals, which must be quarry to reveal ores Ecologist Part of environment, which is conditioned by organism, and which, in turn, influences the organism Historian The earth is the record of the past. A nation and civilization writes its records on land and the record is easily read by man who can understand the simple language of the nature Farmers It is a medium of plant growth and production to earn food, clothing and shelter, for which he/she struggles and spends more of his/her time for economic security from the centuries. Knowledge of soil passes on from generation to generation, so he/she loves, crushes, sweats over it, and finally dies for it. Soil is the natural body developed by natural forces acting on natural materials. It is naturally developed into horizons from minerals and organic constituents of variable depth which differ from the parents material below in morphology, physical properties and constitution, chemical properties and composition and biological characteristics - Joffe and Marbut, 1953 Thank You so much, I will come up with other reports about soil hope you knew what is soil ? in relation with different professionals from this report. |

Hello Deepak!
It is so interesting that you defined soil in other professionalist's point of view. It is all different in other perspestives, but I am sure that they all consider soil as a fundemental factor :)
I'm curious how you define soil as 'Deepak'. :D
Thanks for your report!

Though each individual perspective of views is different, it is still public but priceless goods for all of us :)
Thanks for your report, will look forward to upcoming report of you!

Deepak,
The definition and meaning of soil vary from one profession to another - Agronomy, Engineering, Geology etc which your report has done justice to that.
In fact, a good number of profession would not have existed without soil. Thanks for your easy-to-digest report on soil. Hope to hear more from you.

Hey there Deepak!
I trust you are well!
I like how you define what soil is from the different spheres of work. It is funny how all these spheres have a different analogy of soil. But what is constant is that fact that without soil, like water, life of earth would be close to impossible.
Thank you so much for this report!
