Biological Indicators of Soil Health

Defining and assessing soil health and sustainable productivity the relationship of soil health to ecosystem health rationale for the development and use of bioindicators of soil health bioindicators - perspectives and potential value for land users, researchers and policy makers soil microflora as bioindicators of soil health plant root pathogens as bioindicators of soil health soil microfauna as bioindicators of soil health community structure of soil arthropods as influenced by soil chemistry and management practices how well does soil macrofauna reflect the biological health of soils? enzyme activities as integrative indicators of soil biology microbial biomass, organic matter and mineralizable nutrients as indicators of soil health biodiversity of soil organisms as an indicator of soil health biomonitoring of soil health by plants use of genetically modified biosensors for soil ecotoxicity in testing bioindicator to detect contamination of soils synthesis - bioindicators as a component of indicator packages for monitoring soil health and sustainable productivity.
