Soil regeneration

Soil regeneration, as a particular form of ecological regeneration within the field of restoration ecology, is creating new soil and rejuvenating soil health by: minimizing the loss of topsoil, retaining more carbon than is depleted, boosting biodiversity, and maintaining proper water and nutrient cycling.^[1] This has many benefits, such as: soil sequestration of carbon in response to a growing threat of climate change,^[2]^[3] a reduced risk of soil erosion,^[3] and increased overall soil resilience.^[1]
