Bauxite mining, a destructive process in which much of a mining area's top-soil is removed, is a sensitive issue in Vietnam. ❋ James Hookway (2011)
Ronaldinho takes it, sending a low drive skimming once ... twice ... along the top-soil, straight into the hands of the watchful Sergio Romero. ❋ Barry Glendenning (2010)
Over this they put back the top-soil they had taken off. ❋ Hannah Pakula (2009)
And so many of us are treating the mud as if it were top-soil. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The establishment of vegetation and C sequestration in RMSs are affected by top-soil depth, soil compaction, soil toxicity, vegetation species selected, seedbed preparation, time of seeding and seeding rates, fertilizers and soil amendments, mulching, and weed competition. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The wind comes from the North West and when it really blows in the winter Minnesota ends up with Dakota's top-soil. ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)
Essentially none of it goes to that annual spread of top-soil that the delta needs. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Come the late spring, the road begins to dry and harden, and the rough spots, either natural or man-made, begin to slowly fill with the remaining top-soil from an adjacent "Homestead". ❋ Don Lewis (2008)
The ground dug easily and they hardly needed the mattock, for only a thin rind of ground was frozen and under that the top-soil was black and loose and went down and down. ❋ Frazier, Charles, 1950- Cold Mountain (2003)

If heavy equipment is used, indiscriminate bulldozing or removal of top-soil has to be avoided at all costs. ❋ Unknown (1999)
It has already been in use for some time, leaching the acidity out of the top-soil in preparation for the grassing phase, which is about to begin. ❋ Unknown (1996)
For example, in contour terracing along a 3% side-slope with 15 cm of top-soil underlain by granular material, a 20 m wide terrace, even with balanced cut and fill, would require 30 cm depth of cut. ❋ Unknown (1995)
The problem can be remedied, nominally, by stripping and stockpiling the top-soil before shaping, and subsequently re-spreading, but this is a costly operation and is seldom practiced. ❋ Unknown (1995)
The top-soil with moderate to high infiltration rate is underlain at shallow depth by a relatively low infiltration rate sub-soil (a lateritic sub-structure in one particular case). ❋ Unknown (1995)
The characteristic feature of podzols is leaching of the top-soil by humic acids, generated from rotting vegetative material on the forest floor. ❋ Unknown (1995)
After the top-soil profile is saturated there is little further infiltration, making water management relatively simple. ❋ Unknown (1995)
Frequently, a layer of sand may occur below the top-soil and over the clay layer. ❋ Unknown (1984)
The depth of the top-soil may vary from a few centimetres in some arid climates to several metres in hot, humid areas. ❋ Unknown (1984)
