Soil Protection Report

German Federal Government, June 2002

Soil is the ultimate basis of all human, plant and animal life. It also performs a large share of natural decomposition and chemical conversion processes. It serves as a filter and reservoir in water and chemical cycles, stores energy and material resources, supports agriculture and forestry, and is an archive of natural and cultural history.
