摘要：Soil degradation belongs to the prominent environmental problems related to other environmental and societal problems such as floods/drought occurrence, food and water sufficiency & quality with direct impact on human health. Degradation of agricultural soil often follows from non-respecting the principles of good management practice. Until now soil was considered as the tool of production that serves for satisfaction of increased farmer needs. Soil degradation in forestry sector (often acidification and pollution) was/is induced secondarily through emissions and immissions from local industry and trans-boundary transfer. Soil in private sector is usually considered as property that serves exclusively for owner purposes. Favouring economic view against environmental, private and group interest against cross societal ones, short term benefits against long-term ones, promotion of excessive consumption as well as permanent need to increase the economic growth of individuals or purpose-built groups - that all are masked driving forces of soil and environment degradation. Solution of environmental and societal problems is in the hands of human. He always has the possibility of free option through that alter the surrounding reality in direction to the better or worse. Simultaneously he takes responsibility for own decisions. Ignorance of this fact does not provide him immunity against re-action of natural laws.
