21. Soil Fertility: Index
    has been a problem in many countries that have intensive agriculture production.Mobile nutrients such as nitrogen can move out of the soil profile into the

    Extractions: A plant needs at least seventeen elements to grow and reproduce. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon are supplied by the environment the other fourteen are supplied by the soil. Elements that are required by plants in relatively large amounts are called macronutrients ; elements that are required in smaller amounts are called micronutrients . Each element has one or more specific functions in plant metabolism. The study of the ability of the soil to supply and sustain adequate amounts of nutrients for plant growth is called soil fertility . How plants take up nutrients and use them in their metabolism is called plant nutrition . Many soil physical and chemical characteristics affect the availability of nutrients to plants. The nutrient cycles determine the long term sustainability of fertility. But in the short term, the chemical form of the nutrient in the soil, how it moves to the plant root ( ion movement ) through the pore space of soils is most important. Nutrient deficiencies can usually be corrected with the addition of chemical or natural organic

    http://interactive.usask.ca/ski/agriculture/
    
    Extractions: Here we see the homestead of William Richard Motherwell (1860-1943), Saskatchewan's first Minister of Agriculture. The word agriculture is derived from two Latin words; agri , meaning field; and cultura , to cultivate. It is the activity of growing crops and raising livestock. Cultivated land occupies only 11% of the world's land resources but produces about 95% of the world's food. Only 7% of the land in Canada is used for agriculture and 80% of that land is in the Prairie provinces. The agri-food industry includes crop and animal production, the agribusiness sectors that supply herbicides and fertilizers, and the food processing and marketing components that link farms with consumers. Saskatchewan's agriculture is still dominated by wheat production which accounts for 27% of the 5 billion dollars in annual farm cash receipts from crop and livestock production. In 2000, wheat and durum accounted for about 33% of the province's 4.1 billion of agiculture and food exports. History Travel back to the beginning of agriculture in Canada .

25. Earthworm Ecology And Sustaining Agriculture
    A paper from the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, University of California, exploring the effects of earthworms in farmed soils.  
    http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/worms/werner.htm
    
    Extractions: Earthworms can play a variety of important roles in agroecosystems. Their feeding and burrowing activities incorporate organic residues and amendments into the soil, enhancing decomposition, humus formation, nutrient cycling, and soil structural development (Mackay and Kladivko, 1985; Kladivko et al., 1986). Earthworm burrows persist as macropores which provide low resistance channels for root growth, water infiltration, and gas exchange (Kladivko and Timmenga, 1990; Zachmann and Linden, 1989). Quality, quantity and placement of organic matter is a main determinant of earthworm abundance and activity in agricultural soils (Edwards, 1983; Lofs-Holmin, 1983), as are disturbances of the soil by tillage, cultivation, and the use of pesticides (Doran and Werner, 1990). This article will review recent information on earthworms as it relates to the sustainability of agriculture. For further information, see Lee (1985) or Satchell (1983).

    Extractions: In 1975, Soil Taxonomy was published by the United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Survey Staff. This system for classifying soils has undergone numerous changes since that time, and the 2nd edition was published in 1999. Soil Taxonomy remains one of the most widely used soil classification systems in the world.

34. Canadian Soil Classification
    A taxonomy of soils.  
    http://interactive.usask.ca/ski/agriculture/soils/soilclass/soilclass_can.html
    
    Extractions: Soil Order The highest or broadest level of classification is the Order reflecting which of the soil forming factors had the most influence of soil formation. Nine orders are recognized with specific horizon characteristics. Within Saskatchewan most of the soil orders are represented, although the main agricultural area is dominated by soils of the Chernozemic Order. The northern agricultural/forest transition areas are mainly Luvisolic soils and boreal forest soils are dominated by Brunisolic soils. To the far north, the subsoil rarely thaws so that we have permafrost giving rise to Crysolic soils. Wherever there is standing water and restricted drainage, Organic soils form, usually in the wetter forested regions. Gleysolic soils develop in areas that are subjected to periodic waterlogging. Parent material that contains a high proportion of soluble salts give rise to Solonetzic soils.

    Extractions: The Saskatchewan Soil Database and its Applications Thematic or interpretive maps produced from the analysis serve as illustrative or decision support tools to address issues in resource management such as land-use suitability, soil conservation and potential crop diversity. Soil data is an essential component of many models such as those that predict surface runoff, wind and water erosion, crop yield and global climate change (carbon fixation models).
