La conservation des sols combine toutes les méthodes de gestion et d'utilisation des terres qui préviennent la diminution ou la détérioration des sols par des causes naturelles ou humaines. Elle vise le plus souvent à gérer les sols de manière à prévenir leur érosion par l'eau de pluie et de ruissellement, ainsi que par le vent. Elle tente également de protéger les sols contre les dommages occasionnés par la machinerie agricole (p. ex. le compactage) et les changements nocifs à leur composition chimique (p. ex. l'acidification et la salinisation). 2, record 2, French, - conservation%20des%20sols

The Global Assessment of Human Induced Soil Degradation (GLASOD) was conducted by the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) at Wageningen, The Netherlands, as commissioned by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). ISRIC produced a 1:10 million scale wall chart in 1990 and subsequently produced a digital data set. In essence, the GLASOD data base contains information on soil degradation within map units as reported by numerous soil experts around the world through a questionnaire. It includes the type, degree, extent, cause and rate of soil degradation. 1, record 5, English, - Global%20Assessment%20of%20Human%20Induced%20Soil%20Degradation
