The phrase "avoidance of soil" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing environmental practices, agriculture, or land management where minimizing soil disturbance is important.
Example: "The avoidance of soil erosion is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems and agricultural productivity."
Alternatives: "prevention of soil" or "minimization of soil disturbance".
But also the avoidance of soil exchange in traffic areas and the improvement of soil at site with geogrids have to be mentioned as positive examples in this regard.
Many common infections seen in long-term travelers are preventable by vaccines, vector avoidance, food/water precautions, and avoidance of soil and fresh water.
However, we notified the patients of our findings that soil exposure was a risk factor of pulmonary MAC disease after 2010 [ 15] and suggested the avoidance of soil exposure and the use of masks when they were exposed to soil.
Opportunities that then arise include the coupling of issues (e.g. sand extraction and increasing discharge capacities), the possibility to move to areas where costs are lower (e.g. by avoidance of contaminated soil) and the inclusion of the current intervention as part of a longer term cyclic strategy instead of a design in isolation.
These authors suggested that soil-surface and shallow roots contribute to the avoidance of hypoxic soils in rice.
The objectives of this investigation were to determine the effects of soil properties on the avoidance behavior of Enchytraeus albidus and to optimize the duration of avoidance test.
Avoidance of practices that would predispose soils to erosion would also prevent plinthization.
Comte et al. (2012), working in the Brazilian Amazon, showed that mulching rather than burning resulted in higher topsoil water holding capacity and total N. Hypothesized additional benefits of fire exclusion include the avoidance of negative impacts of burning on soil biota, a faster fallow and ecosystem carbon stock recovery, and a reduced wildfire risk.
Consideration of soil properties is important for selecting appropriate experimental design and interpreting the results of the enchytraeid avoidance test.
Minimizing path length, obstacle avoidance and soil risk are also considered.
Avoidance of these can help avoid overwhelming the system.
