Kevin's family owns a farm. over the past few months, the farmland has shown signs of soil erosion and contamination, which resu
lted in dead crops. which discipline can help environmental scientist study this problem? -electrical engineering
-soil science
-human health sciences
-environmental engineering
Soil scientists develop methods to preserve the fertility of the soil and to decrease the effects of erosion on productivity. Environmental engineering will also help environmental scientists in studying this problem as they use the principle of engineering, soil science, biology and chemistry to develop the solution to the environmental problems.
This soil science can help in studying the composition and classification of the soil of the farm including its physical, chemical and biological properties. Also from the analysis you can propose solutions to decontaminate the soil and fertilize it for healthy corn growth.
The edaphology that is a branch of soil science studies the composition and nature of the soil in its relationship with plants and the surrounding environment. It would be useful in this case.
