Soil quality affects humans in so many ways!
Think about what we use soil for... food!
If you compare agricultural high quality soil to low quality soil of deserts, much more can grow under high quality environments.
Also think about the interconnectedness of ecosystems.
For example take a mouse that is a herbivore and only feeds on plants. That mouse is then takes part in a broader food chain. Everything in an ecosystem depends on each other. Upper levels of an ecosystem will not be able to be as large or developed if the first link in the food chain (the photosynthesizers- plants!). For example if the soil is not quality (low in nutrients necessary for plant growth- ** Nitrogen, Phosphorus) then fewer plants will be able to grow. With fewer plants present, fewer animals can be supported and then there will be fewer predators of these animals. Humans are more on the top of the food chain so changes lower on the food chain will trickle up and impact us! Everything is connected.
