Soil Erodibility
Soil Erodibility:Erodibility is a measure of how easily water can remove soil particles from an area of land. It is affected by factors such as rainfall intensity and duration, slope steepness, vegetation cover type and density

Soil Incorporation
Soil Incorporation:The process of turning organic matter or other amendments into the soil. This is done to improve the physical, chemical, and/or biological properties of the soil. Incorporation can be done mechanically (with tillage equipment) or manually (with shovels or other hand tools).
soil profile
Soil Profile:A cross-section of the soil that shows its various horizons. The profile extends from the surface down to where there is no more soil (usually bedrock). Each horizon has different physical and chemical properties.
Soil Residual Life
Soil Residual Life:The length of time that a given soil can continue to support plant growth without being replenished with nutrients. This is determined by the rate at which nutrients are used up by plants and how quickly they are replaced by decomposition of organic matter or other sources.
Soil Residue
Soil Residue:The material left behind after crops are harvested. This includes straw, chaff, leaves, stems, and any other plant parts that are not used or consumed. Residues can be left on the surface of the soil (surface residue) or incorporated into the soil (subsurface residue).
