Übersetzung für "to turn the soil " (Englisch → Deutsch) :

the light, calcareous soils with neutral to alkaline pH. The calcareous soil, which prevents the trees absorbing iron more effectively than other soils and can retain water much better, which in turn means that olive trees grown in this type of soil do not dry out so easily in times of drought.

With regard to the link between the geological and soil conditions, it should be noted how the formation of soils that are generally not very fertile has again left its mark on the crop, which is subject to continuous stress, these aspects having in turn acted as a means of natural selection, leading to product differentiation.

305 | Summary of the proposed action The proposed Directive includes: The establishment of a common framework to protect soil on the basis of the principles of preservation of soil functions, prevention of soil degradation, mitigation of its effects, restoration of degraded soils and integration in other sectoral policies. The requirement to identify, describe and assess the impact of some sectoral policies on soil degradation processes with a view to protect soil functions. The requirement for land users to take precautionary measures when their use of the soil can be expected to significantly hamper soil functions. An approach to soil ...[+++]sealing to ensure a more rational use of land in accordance with Article 174 of the EC Treaty and to maintain as many soil functions as possible. Identification of areas at risk of erosion, organic matter decline, salinisation, compaction and landslides, and establishment of national programmes of measures.

The Communication also identifies the main threats to soil in Europe: erosion, decline in organic matter, soil contamination, soil sealing (caused by the covering of soil for housing, roads and other infrastructure), soil compaction (caused by mechanical pressure through the use of heavy machinery, overgrazing or sporting activities), decline in soil biodiversity, salinisation (excessive accumulation of soluble salts of sodium, magnesium and calcium) and floods and landslides.

The close link between soil and the other major compartments water and air, is reflected in specific environmental legislation, targeted at them, but in turn generally contributing to the protection of soil.

Whereas the use of PPPs can contribute to such contamination, measures to reduce PPP use (in particular herbicides) could increase the need for mechanical weed control, which in its turn would increase the potential for erosion (also identified as a threat to soil) and the consumption of fossil energy in agriculture.
