Plan Direction:
Soil quality and productivity are sustained or improving, allowing soil resources to maintain key ecological functions. Soil biological, chemical, and physical processes cycle nutrients and carbon. This sustains the biological diversity and productivity of vegetation communities and provides habitat for small to large organisms. Soils contribute to the health of watersheds by serving as a filter to degrade, immobilize, and detoxify undesirable organic and inorganic materials. Soils store water in watersheds and provide for desirable water storage and release.
