BLM NSTC Soil Biological Communties All right, let’s clear up one thing about dirt: we like to call it soil. Soil is one of the most fundamental and basic of our resources -- as much so as water and air. We need healthy soil to grow food for humans and other animals, and products that we use on a daily basis. Without healthy soil the landscape would be barren. In order to properly manage the public lands the Bureau of Land Management is entrusted with, we must understand soil processes and how they contribute to the health ...
