Each region of the state has soils of various depths. The state has more than a thousand kinds of soils. Soil scientists have given them names. Each has individual characteristics that influence human activities like agriculture and forestry, and characteristics that affect broader ecological functions related to issues like wetlands and waste disposal. Obviously, we won't be getting any new soil overnight, and that's a problem.
Erosion is one of the major problems.
The most common forms are where water or wind tear at the soil and carry it away. Some types of soils erode more easily. Soil that is disturbed is more vulnerable. Compaction is another problem. You see this on school grounds where large numbers of people follow the same route.
