Description: Soil is our planet’s “thin skin” which we use in various ways. It is the basis for our agriculture and forestry, it serves as a space for human settlements, infrastructure and recreation. We exploit the resources of raw materials in surface or deep mines, dispose of waste on and below the earth. In addition, soil provides many ecological services that are essential for us but rarely perceived. That farmers produce food thanks to soils is obvious, but only very few people are aware of the important funcions of soils such as a carbon store and as regulator ofwater supplies and recycler of raw materials or habitat for soil organisms.
