(6383) Soil conservation
1- Protection of soil against physical loss by erosion or against chemical deterioration; that is, excessive loss of fertility by either natural or artificial means. 2 - A combination of all management and land use methods that safeguard the soil against depletion or deterioration by natural or by human-induced factors. 3 - The branch of soil science that deals with soil conservation 1 and 2.
