The term ‘soil health’ is preferred by some (for a discussion see Doran et al., 1996; Doran and Safley, 1997) because it portrays soil as a living, dynamic system whose functions are mediated by a diversity of living organisms that require management and con- servation. Soil health,...
The deterioration of soil quality/health is the combined result of soil fertility, biological degradation (decline of organic matter, biomass C, decrease in activity and diversity of soil fauna), increase in erodibility, acidity, and salinity, and exposure of compact subsoil of poor physicochemical...

Soil microbial transformations of nitrogen (N) can be affected by soil health management practices. Here, we report in situ seasonal dynamics of the population size (gene copy abundances) and functional activity (transcript copy abundances) of five bacterial genes involved in soil N cycling (ammonia...

Management of soil-dwelling insects has been difficult due to their abstruse nature. Initially, organochlorines were used to control soil-borne pests, but such chemicals have been banned due to their harmful effects on environmental and human health. These chemicals are applied excessively when target...
Soil health is the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals and humans, and connects agricultural and soil science to policy, stakeholder needs and sustainable supply-chain management. Historically, soil assessments focused on crop production, but...
