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.
Managing soil biological fertility. 1  Minimise erosion as soil organisms are predominantly located in the surface layers, which are most easily eroded. 2  Maintain or increase the organic matter content of soil as organic matter is an important source of carbon, energy and nutrients for soil organisms. Use diverse rotations as they result in diverse inputs of organic matter and a diverse population of soil organisms.
