How Is The SOIL Called ‘Dead’? Let’s Find Out

Dead Soil is a product of the overuse of chemicals, over-development and other harmful practices. Trees and other plants cannot grow from dead dirt. To thrive, they need healthy soil that is full of nutrients and able to give life.
Dead Soil is a product of the overuse of chemicals, over-development and other harmful practices. Trees and other plants cannot grow from dead dirt. To thrive, they need healthy soil that is full of nutrients and able to give life. In order to grow well, plants need a place to grow, access to nutrients, and in most cases sunlight. A rich soil provides that home and a good supply of nutrients. But young soils have less to offer – yes, soils can have different ages ranging from hundreds to thousands to millions of years old.
This is because soil is being made and lost all the time, with various dynamic processes. The process of soil formation often depends on climate, microorganisms, time, nutrients, parent material and nurturing. Soils in warmer climates tend to be older than ones in colder climates. Many organisms, like microbes and insects help aid in soil formation. The term “relief” refers to the topography area. So, usually soil at the bottom of a mountain range – exposed to less erosion and warmer weather, will be older than soil at the top of a mountain. The major parent material for soils is rocks. Soil formation takes place after a gradual exposure of rocks to the elements and activity of an organism – called weathering.
