The soil covering the surface of the earth has taken millions of years to form and we must learn to respect it. Soil is formed at a rate of only 1 cm every 100 to 400 years and it takes 3,000 to 12,000 years to build enough soil to form productive land. This means that soil is a nonrenewable resource and once destroyed it is gone forever. [ 64 more words ] https://tagchemical.wordpress.com//06/12/soil-conservation/

Soil Conservation is real. Soil is formed at a rate of only 1 cm every 100 to 400 years and it takes 3,000 to 12,000 years to build enough soil to form productive land. This means that soil is a nonrenewable resource and once destroyed it is gone forever. If we disregard this, a time will come when there would not be enough soil left to sustain life on earth, because the soil is a necessary growth medium for plants, a home for certain insects and animals, as well as a medium from which we get minerals, such as gold. It is important therefore to treat soil, especially topsoil, as a living entity.
