Abstract

Soil is considered to be one of the most complex natural systems on the planet, a key component of the geographical environment, and a biological complex that is constantly changing. Also, the soil is a multifunctional system on which the essential functions of life on Earth are based. As such, soil protection must be a primary concern for the community, as the conservation of soil resources itself requires more than transposition in legislative terms. Thus, on the protection of soils from the point of view of the legislation of the EU and Romania, we set out to make an analysis noting in this paper the main provisions of the acquis communautaire (directives, strategies, decisions, etc.), which come to ensure an interface between the use of soils and their protection for future generations. As a result of the research undertaken we can conclude that both EU and Romanian legislation are still deficient in soil protection, it is not as protected as the other elements of the environment, water, air, and/or biodiversity.

Abstract

Much has been written about the soil over time, from different perspectives, however, the soil as an entity, as well as its role and functions are far from being fully recorded. In the Information and Knowledge Society, soil still has a significant role to play, in terms of its functions at the community level. We set out to make some scientific remarks and examples on these issues. Also, the soil is subjected to analysis as a cosmic-telluric-biotic product, in its gradual transition from the Hunting and Agrarian Society to the Society based on technology, information, and knowledge. What we have managed to summarize is a summum of definitions of the soil, and a conglomeration of functions, carefully nuanced and delimited, which open the way for the reader from the soil seen as a resource-support of the technosphere to the soil treated as a primary scientific concern.
