Major Threats to Soil Health
Soil degradation is one of the challenges to sustainable tree plantations that have effects on tree growth, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem stability. The other factors affecting soil deterioration reduce soil productivity and consequently disrupt the ecosystem balance.
Deforestation: Abandoning any tree for the sake of agriculture or urbanization causes structural problems in soils and degrades organic matter. This ruins the whole purpose of a tree plantation because trees are very significant in ensuring soil stability and fertility.
Erosion: The deep topsoil, rich in nutrient content, is blown away by wind and washed away by water and difficult for plants to grow. More evidence of tree plantation is void of soil loss when trees take root-they hold the soil and prevent erosion.
Agrochemical Pollution: Excessive use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers can reduce soil nutrient content. More importantly, they kill beneficial microorganisms. Hence, such degraded soil fetches low production from agricultural activities and drastically disrupts ecosystems, compelling the need for tree plantation in life.
Soil Compaction: Heavy machinery and overgrazing compact the soil, impeding aeration and infiltration. The resulting poor soil conditions hamper the growth of trees, derailing the purpose of tree plantations-aids in improving greenery and the environment.

Playlist by Vijaya: Food Pyramid
A food pyramid is a visual representation of a balanced diet, showing which food groups to eat more or less of. It typically categorizes foods into groups and suggests the optimal number of servings from each group to maintain health. The most well-known version is the one developed by the US Department of Agriculture, which has been revised and adapted by various countries.
Key Features of a Food Pyramid:
Base:
Represents the food groups that should form the foundation of a healthy diet, consumed in larger quantities.
Apex:
Represents the food groups to be consumed in smaller amounts, typically fats, oils, and sweets.
Middle Layers:
Represent the other food groups like grains, fruits, vegetables, and protein sources, with varying recommendations for daily intake -

Agriculture : Wheat species of cereal grasses of the genus Triticum
Wheat, any of several species of cereal grasses of the genus Triticum (family Poaceae) and their edible grains. Wheat is one of the oldest and most important cereal crops. Of the thousands of varieties known, the most important are common wheat (Triticum aestivum), used to make bread; durum wheat (T. durum), used in making pasta (alimentary pastes) such as spaghetti and macaroni; and club wheat (T. compactum), a softer type, used for cake, crackers, cookies, pastries, and flours. Additionally, some wheat is used by industry for the production of starch, paste, malt, dextrose, gluten, alcohol, and other products.
