Soil Biodiversity - Conclusion

Conclusion

The relationship of soils to biodiversity is intimate and complex; it spans vast spatial and temporal scales and is essential to life. Soil is an asset as is biodiversity – the two should not be considered separately when it comes to protecting one or the other. Soil can be managed to optimise its fertility and health under natural and agricultural land uses, so as to benefit biodiversity. Due to the dispersed nature of the soil asset, a broad but consistent and economically appealing approach to its protection is needed.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    I’ve heard the wolves scuffle, and said: So this
    Is man; so what better conclusion is there
    The day will not follow night, and the heart
    Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
    Than a wolf’s....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)

    I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and by tourists into town.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
