Sustaining Life Through Soil Science

The soil is not always suitable or competent to support a direct shallow foundation in construction. In many cases, to avoid costly deep foundations, it is indicated to replace, improve, or reinforce such soil. This paper focuses on evaluating the contribution to sustainability between different soil improvement techniques and the outcome of their application to the foundation of a single-family house as an alternative to the one built. Soil is a vital resource and non-renewable biodiversity during a human life, and without soil living in the world is impossible. The results of global research between agricultural soils and community health, thinkers have not yet reached promising results. For this purpose, 10 years of important environmental information consist of; the type of soil texture system process and related factors were received from official centers as well as in a survey (field). In this regard, to evaluate, analyze and conclude the process of the research area, the strategic multidisciplinary model (SMM), Excel and SPSS program were used.

Soil classification is based on both the properties of the soil material and the pedogenetic pathways responsible for those properties. Because soil properties are linked to soil function and potential, information on soil classification has formed the basis for empirical interpretations of mapping units in terms of limitations or suitabilities for a wide range of land uses. The framework summarizes soil and land related topics into six societal challenges and associates them with eight knowledge types that outline integrated research for development and implementation of sustainable soil and land management. We propose that research should be aligned with living labs and lighthouses to leverage local solutions, innovation, training and education.

Currently, heavy metal pollution, mining, and farming have caused many serious impacts on soils. Looking for sustainable and effective methods to mitigate soil pollution is significant. Biochar as a carbon-rich solid is generated from organic residues, and the use of biochar has been considered as an intense subject of investigation for soil remediation, and is probably going to keep on being for a long time.
