Soil Health for Sustainable Agriculture and Ecosystems

Yangchen

Soil health is an important concept that refers to the capacity of soil to function effectively, sustainably, and productively. Healthy soil is characterized by high levels of organic matter, good soil structure, high microbial diversity, and effective nutrient cycling. Soil health is critical for ensuring the long-term productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems, as well as maintaining the overall stability of our ecosystems. Key factors that impact soil health include land use practices, climate change, and nutrient management strategies. Improving soil health requires adopting management practices that promote organic matter accumulation, reduce soil disturbance, and minimize use of chemical inputs. Through continued research and implementation of best management practices, soil health can be improved, supporting the long-term health and productivity of soils and the ecosystems they support.
