SOIL CONSERVATION Preserving our soil is vital for maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Even small efforts can make a significant difference in soil conservation. To begin with, minimizing the use of harmful chemicals plays a key role. By limiting pesticides and fertilizers, we protect the soil from contamination and keep it safe for both plants and wildlife. Another effective method is planting more trees and vegetation. The roots of plants anchor the soil, preventing it from being washed away by rain or wind. Moreover, the shade provided by trees helps maintain soil moisture and temperature, creating a stable environment. Finally, composting organic materials is an excellent practice for enriching the soil. By turning food scraps and yard waste into compost, we create a natural fertilizer that boosts soil health and supports plant growth. Question 29.

Composting organic materials Question 30. What is one benefit of planting trees, according to the passage? A. Increasing soil erosion B. Providing nutrients to the soil C.
