Description
Today’s education, conservation and research in natural resources for both plants and animals focuses on watersheds. Soil has the unique functions of habitat, decomposition of organic material, routing of water, and others. These functions are tied to the spaces among soil solid particles—the holes (pores or voids). But our teaching about soils focuses on the solids. This poster is a suggestion to change our approach, focusing on these spaces and their unique functions.
