Rules for soil protection
• Waste disposal.• Contaminated land.• Water pollution.• Soil Fertility.• Biological activity.• Soil acidity.• Soil nutrient content.• Degradation.
Sub-modules and contents
Example: There are some regulations that the factories and big enterprises have to compromise with in order to eliminate the contamination. On the other hand there are centers for these reasons so as to destroy the wastes without pollute the environment (Spain and other European countries). In addition in agriculture the farmers have to follow some rules for their protection and for environment. They have to collect all the wastes from fertilizers, pesticides etc in one place.
Picture 8: Degradation of soil. It is clear that the low quality of soil has negative results to development of plants
