Soil protection against degradation and its society-wide and global aspe

Submitted paper focuses attention on problems with soil degradation with regard to particularity soil use in agriculture, forestry and urban and industrial areas. The significance of soil threats in agricultural sector decreases in order: loss of soil organic matter , water erosion , compaction , acidification , wind erosion , pollution , salinization. Till now soil sealing mostly from agricultural sector had tolerable extent but the present trend in development of foreign and national investment does not respect present legislation and new areas of agricultural soil without respect to their unique quality are annexed. Soils in forestry sector are mostly affected by acidification and pollution. Soils in urban or industrial areas are significantly affected by pollution and compaction. Usually, soil degradation has gradual or cumulative character and long-term influences provision of soil environmental functions, biomass production inclusive. Improper use and following soil degradation is immediately connected with deterioration of other environmental issues (decrease of biodiversity, air and water pollution). Polluted urban soils immediately affect health status of citizens. Immediate reason of soil degradation in agriculture is insufficient application the principles of good agricultural practice, lack of utilisable information and insufficient application of legislation on soil protection. More deep reason is giving long-term precedence to production function over remaining ecological ones that is reflection of value criterion of society. Forest cover and consecutively soils are affected by emissions and emissions from local sources or trans-boundary transfer. Status of urban soils is reflection economy human activities that are considered as stability factor of employment and economic prosperity of individuals, groups and country. Sealing of next agricultural soil for infrastructure building instead of restoration of brown fields is also reflection of value priorities of society. Soil in private sector is usually considered as property that serves exclusively for owner purposes. Mentioned mirrors the societal values and priorities. Whatever reasons of soil and land degradation are in upshot the result of man activities that through creative thinking permanently affects surrounding reality.
