Ocean pasture restoration efforts can help revitalize and sustain marine ecosystems by replenishing nutrients that support the growth of phytoplankton, which forms the base of the marine food chain. This can lead to increased biodiversity, healthier fish populations, and overall ecosystem resilience.

Why are millions of acres of forest destroyed each year?

Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of rainforest or related ecosystems into less bio-diverse ecosystems such as pasture, cropland, or plantations.


Why shouldn't more land be cleared for farming and grazing as old land is worn out?

Clearing more land for farming and grazing can lead to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of ecosystems. Instead, sustainable practices such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and pasture management should be implemented to improve soil health and productivity on existing lands. This also helps preserve natural habitats and mitigate climate change.


How does soil erosion affects the land?

Soil Erosion affects the land in many ways. It can take away the topsoil of the soil horizon which is important to growing crops and pasture for its organic matter. Also erosion can cause leaching of the soil which means that nutrients leave the soil and may become hazardous to aquatic life downstream.


How long does nitrogen on the pasture need to be on the ground before rain?

Nitrogen in the form of urea or ammonium nitrate should be watered into the soil immediately after application to prevent volatilization losses. Ideally, it should be watered in within 24 hours, as rain may not effectively carry it into the soil.


What type of crop improve soil and soil fertility?

Permanent hay or pasture "crops". Pasture is the most effective way of improving soil and soil fertility because of the animal manure that is incorporated into the soil to help plants grow. But the most important part of improving soil is the way pastures are grazed. Managed Intensive Grazing is the best way to improve soil and soil fertility on a more even distribution of grazing practices.
