I'm working on a paper that seeks to characterize ways in which we
might more effectively ecologize urban and suburban agglomerations.
As part of that effort, and given that one of the most significant
impacts that urbanization has on the land is the laying of impervious
surfaces, I'd like to better understand the idea of soil health.
Specifically, do we adversely impact soil health by laying impervious
surfaces down upon the land? And, if so, would the increased use of
porous pavement and pervious materials actually improve soil ecology?
What might I read to better understand this relationship, please?
Thanks,
