If one were to boil this whole process down, it is the system developed to produce the metal type that would prove to be the most innovative. Many of the processes used to print these books generally existed in one form or another, but the metal type is a stroke of genius as nothing like it had existed before.
Soil Conservation. Soil conservation is a combination of all methods of management and land use that safeguard the soil against depletion or deterioration by natural or human-induced factors.
Biological processes in soil can improve soil structure. Some bacteria and fungi produce substances during organic matter decomposition that chemically and physically bind soil particles into micro-aggregates. The hyphal strands of fungi can cross-link soil particles helping to form and maintain aggregates (figure 3).
