Vegetation - Key to Landscape Regeneration | Soils for Life
http://www.soils4life.com/vegetation.html
Support Org. links. VEGETATION - KEY TO LANDSCAPE REGENERATION. A diversity of vegetation and groundcover is fundamental to regenerating our degraded landscape.

Why are Soils Important? | Soils for Life
http://www.soils4life.com/why.html
Support Org. links. WHY ARE SOILS IMPORTANT? Healthy soils are fundamental to landscape regeneration and sustainable food production. Soil health refers to the physical, mineral and biological condition of the soil and its potential to sustain biological functioning, absorb water and promote plant and animal nutrition and health. Such resilient soils are better able to retain function during, and recover after, stress or disturbance - such as too much or too little rain. Be managed in an integrated way.
