soil-health

487 articles

Soil health is the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem, supporting complex interactions between microorganisms, soil fauna, and plant communities. For plant science, soil health is critical because these biological and chemical soil properties directly control nutrient availability, water retention, and disease suppression—factors that fundamentally determine plant growth and productivity. Understanding and maintaining soil health is therefore essential for both sustainable agriculture and plant ecology research.
