This video from the Limestone Coast Landscape Board provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the Carbon Cycle. Carbon is an essential element for all life forms on earth and the carbon cycle is nature’s way of reusing carbon atoms. In this animation you can see how carbon is in a constant state of movement as it makes its way through the hydrosphere (all the waters on the earth’s surface), atmosphere (layers of gases surrounding earth), oceansphere (earth’s oceans), geosphere (the solid earth), pedosphere (earth’s soil) and biosphere (all of earth’s ecosystems) [3:34].#
Audience: RSP, landholders, SFSG, consultants, school students
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.

SSA reminds users that these resources are a guide only. Our understanding of soil science is improving continuously so it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a Registered Soil Professional or a Certified Professional Soil ScientistÂ
