soil  

Definition

  • Soils function in a myriad of ways, including supporting plant growth, serving as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, recycling nutrients, providing habitat for soil organisms, and acting as an engineering medium. The importance of these soil functions to the environment as well as society cannot be understated. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Soils]
