Résumé :
|
Soils are the porous skin of the Earth with variable and complex structures composed of solid, liquid and gaseous phases. Being in close contact with the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, soils fulfil numerous functions as a filter, buffer, habitat for organisms and resource for raw materials and food, rendering them as the basis for life on our Planet. Soils are subject to continous transformations and their dynamic nature is important for the interaction of biological, biogeochemical and physical processes. But at the same time they are vulnerable and affected by human activity and often subject to degradation.
