    The book Dirt: the Erosion of Civilizations, by David R. Montgomery is both entertaining, and an informative read. He expresses how soil is one of the most underappreciated resources, and how humans over time have been a prime factor of soil degradation. This book primarily talks about how human infiltration has gradually continued to raise the rate of soil degradation through deforestation, agriculture, poor erosion control, and disinterest in the subject presented. Agricultural soil loss is not because humanity farms but arises from how they farm. Montgomery is a geomorphologist who studies how topography evolves, and how landscapes change throughout geologic time.…

Extending over a 150,000 square mile land and including parts of five states, Texas, Oklahoma, western Kansas, the eastern Colorado and New Mexico, the Dust Bowl was a period where more than 100 million acres of land of terrains were denied from ripe soil leaving only dry grounds and hills of dust all around. The Dust Bowl took place around the 1930s in the Great Plains due to the farmers over cultivating the land and causing soil to erode, heat waves, high winds and droughts.…

    Coffee is grown mainly in sub-tropical regions including rainforests, and some plantations are grown in tropical savannahs. There are two ways to grow coffee — shade cultivation and sun cultivation, and two types of coffee grown commercially— robusta and higher quality arabica. Coffee was previously shade-grown, but now ‘sun cultivation’ is becoming more popular and widely used as it produces higher yields faster than shade cultivation. Producing coffee requires deforestation and land clearing. When growing coffee through ‘shade-cultivation’, some trees and other plants could be left to provide shade for the coffee plantations, which is less detrimental to the environment, but still alters the biome as trees and plants are still removed.…
