Cover crops have been studied for over a century, but the recognition of a complex
interaction of cover crop on the Earth's biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and …

Crop management practices such as rotation, as well as climatic and edaphic factors,
modulate soil physical health. However, the overall magnitude of crop rotation benefits on …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is closely tied to soil health. However, additional biological
indicators may also provide insight about C dynamics and microbial activity. We used SOC …

The concept of soil health is appropriately receiving increased attention from governments,
producers, corporations, and other stakeholders because of the many functions of soil that …

Aggregate stability is a commonly used indicator of soil health because improvements in
aggregate stability are related to reduced erodibility and improved soil–water dynamics …

Background Modern agricultural practices have exacerbated soil compaction, largely due to
the intensification of operations involving heavier machinery and tillage practices. Soil …

Soil is a precious and non‐renewable resource that is under increasing pressure and the
development of indicators to monitor its state is pivotal. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is …

There is an increasing need for accessible methods to monitor soil health. Our primary
objective was to evaluate an accessible, do-it-yourself method for measuring the maximum …

Maintaining and improving soil health (SH) is essential for the long-term sustainability and
productivity of agriculture, notably in the face of climate change. This study addressed the …

A growing demand for resources has led to the expansion of agricultural areas worldwide.
However, land conversion associated with poor soil management might lead to soil physical …
