The Phosphorus Cycle01:21

The Phosphorus Cycle

Unlike carbon, water, and nitrogen, phosphorus is not present in the atmosphere as a gas. Instead, most phosphorus in the ecosystem exists as compounds, such as phosphate ions (PO43-), found in soil, water, sediment and rocks. Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient (i.e., in short supply). Consequently, phosphorus is added to most agricultural fertilizers, which can cause environmental problems related to runoff in aquatic ecosystems.

Soil Formation01:27

Soil Formation

Soil FormationSoil is one of Earth’s most important natural resources. It forms over long periods from the breakdown of rocks and the remains of plants and animals. Soil supports plant growth, stores water, and provides a home for many organisms. The process of soil formation is slow and involves weathering, decomposition, and the mixing of organic and inorganic materials. Studying soil allows scientists and engineers to create strategies for preserving it and reducing erosion.Science and...
Avoiding Soil Loss01:26

Avoiding Soil Loss

Avoiding Soil LossSoil is essential for plant growth, water filtration, and supporting ecosystems, but it can be lost due to erosion, deforestation, and poor farming practices. When soil is removed faster than it can be replaced, it leads to reduced fertility, increased flooding, and damaged landscapes. Scientists and engineers work to develop solutions to prevent soil loss and maintain healthy land for farming, construction, and natural habitats. Science and Engineering Practices (SEP):...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

The Soil Ecosystem02:23

The Soil Ecosystem

Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Soil Characteristics01:29

Soil Characteristics

Soil CharacteristicsSoil is an essential part of Earth’s surface that supports plants, animals, and ecosystems. It is made up of minerals, organic matter, water, and air, and its characteristics vary based on climate, rock type, and biological activity. Different soil types affect plant growth, water movement, and human activities like farming and construction. By studying soil characteristics, scientists can better understand ecosystems, manage land use, and support environmental...
