When a soil is covered and protected well, erosion <\/span>will be prevented.<\/li>\n\t
Warmer soils can support plants' growth as well as other organisms such as bugs and microbes that live within that soil. If the soil was cold, it will not be able to help these living organims as needed.<\/li>\n\t
Soil act as a sponge that absorbs water, like rain. This water is taken up by plants, bugs, and microbes to live. <\/li>\n\t
