| Organic matter in virgin and cultivated soils | Effects of organic matter decline | Managing soil organic matter. Raw plant residues, on the surface, help reduce surface wind speed and water runoff. Removal, incorporation or burning of residues predisposes the soil to serious erosion.his decline in organic matter has resulted in the release of large amounts of plant nutrients, particularly nitrogen.
