the west, to a minor haystack hills formation in Loíza, just east of San Juan. Terrain The soils of Puerto Rico there are several types of sorting. Five usual types of soils can be classified based on the U.S soil conservation they are humid coastal plains, semiarid coastal plains, humid uplands, semiarid uplands, and humid upland valleys. The scientists of university of Puerto Rico categorise the island soil into one more classification as lowlands, alluvium, coastal plains, alluvium in…

the ocean each year. Pollution is very damaging it's affects our ocean,air,soil,etc. So people should start thinking about pollution more than ever. We pollute and lot of things like we pollute our ocean 70% of the oxygen we breathe is from the the ocean and the ocean is losing oxygen because of humans polluting it. We also pollute the air 38.2 billion tons of CO2 is released into the air every year. We also pollute the soil which makes some food worse quality that it's should be.We pollute a…

food for the growing population. Since earlier ages, people has shown preoccupation about soil fertility and soil exhaustion (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). Some management practices such as manure application or crop rotation were known by Chinese 3000 years ago (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). However, it was just in the last-century that the crop yield increased dramatically. Improvements of hybrids, soil conservation, and pest management contributed to rise crop yield, but the development…

Air Pollution Air pollution is very dangerous to humans’ health and it has a lot of damaging effects on the environment as well, I will try to give a small amount of facts and information about the air pollution and its effects and how to fight it properly. Air pollution is when the air is filled with foreign substances, and these substances could be anything or in any state like gases or liquids or solids, it’s just once they are foreign to the natural air mixture then they are polluting.…

down or eradicated in a whole. Among the various types of pollution that need to be stopped water pollution is one the most damaging. Water pollution damages the environment, so it needs to be controlled because it can cause diseases, it can affect soil, it affects animals that live in water, and clean water is also essential to our survival. Polluted water can be the cause of various diseases. If we put polluted water into our system it can damage our system. One of the major systems inside…

Monsanto has claimed that their businesscompanies’ products would allow for farmers decrease the use of insecticides that are seen to harm the quality of the soil as well as soil ecosystems. Being able to have a healthy soil ecosystem is important to the environment because it helps maintain the protection and growth of crops (Monsanto Company, 2015.). Although the genetic engineering of crops has “reduced the amount of insecticides that…

Agriculture is the practice or science of farming. It includes the cultivation of soil for the growing and rearing of animals to provide food and other products for humans such as wools and fibers. It uses more Natural resources (materials or substances that occur in nature) than all other human actions in the entirety of the world we live in today. Our demand for meat, dairy, population, and production have put a stress on our natural resources. Agriculture is not only an interesting process…

Without corrective steps taken, continual overgrazing the pasture will kill the grass while leaving bare spots subject to soil erosion and weeds. Additionally, overgrazing causes soil compaction that further reduces soil fertility that affects plant growth. Also, soil compaction can happen because horses are large animals with sharp hoofs (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 2008). Likewise, overstocking or too many animals for a pasture…

analyzing plots of organic food alongside the soil that these crops grow on for 21 years. Based on the data received from the farm that was studied, they found that even though the yields of the crops are 20% lower, the “organic plots also end up with far healthier soil” (Spear). Through further investigation researches discovered that the organic systems produced more crops with “less energy and fewer resources” (Spear). They found that fungi and microbes in the soil help plants absorb…

affect the natural environment, but also conventional and organic agriculture. One of the biggest threats to the environment is the damage to soil. If we consider soil to be an ecosystem, then the simplicity of farming practices damage its composition…
