Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. Earth's body of soil, called the pedosphere, has four important functions:

• as a medium for plant growth
• as a means of water storage, supply and purification
• as a modifier of Earth's atmosphere
• as a habitat for organisms

All of these functions, in their turn, modify the soil and its properties.
