Improving Soil for Better Lawns and Gardens
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists in West Virginia are finding ways to improve soil on degraded land so it can be used for sports fields and other uses. Researchers with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) at the agency's Appalachian Farming Systems Research Center (AFSRC) in Beaver, W.Va., are developing constructed or replacement subsoils and topsoils to build better and less-costly sports fields, raingardens and lawns on former landfills, mine lands and other degraded land. ARS is USDA's principal intramural scientific research agency.

Too much fertiliser use has ruined soil health: study
The indiscriminate use of fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides over the years has led to deterioration of soil quality and crop productivity in India. According to a study conducted by the central soil water conservation research and training institute (CSWCRTI), Dehra Dun, about 1 millimetre of top soil is lost every year due to erosion. This leads to a total soil loss of 5,334 million tonnes annually, at an average rate of 16.4 t/ha/yr.

Winter Rainfalls Give Water Conservation a Push
Dating back to ancient times, somewhere around the origins of agriculture, rainwater catchment systems were used to harvest and store rainwater for practical, agrarian reasons—like water retention, irrigation and erosion control.
In today's day and age, rainwater harvesting systems can also increase property value, decrease dependence on municipal water sources, provide homeowner rebates and help with fire protection. And, surprisingly, they can be practical and cost effective, with small, do-it-yourself systems costing as little as $50 to start.

Alaskan Coastal Erosion Doubles, Threatening Oil Exploration
Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Coastal erosion doubled in parts of northern Alaska over a five-year period as sea ice retreated during global warming, threatening some land-based oil exploration.
Erosion rates along a 37-mile (60-kilometer) stretch of the Beaufort Sea coast were 13.6 meters (45 feet) a year in 2002 through 2007 compared with 6.8 meters a year from 1955 through 1979, researchers led by Benjamin Jones at the U.S. Geological Survey said in a study.

What Causes Beach Erosion?

Man-made techniques such as beach nourishment—whereby sand is dredged from off-shore sources and deposited along otherwise vanishing beaches—may slow the process, but nothing short of global cooling or some other major geomorphic change will stop it altogether.
According to
