Soil Health Monitoring
Soil health monitoring involves assessing the condition and quality of soil to ensure it supports plant growth and ecosystem functions. This process includes measuring factors like soil structure, nutrient levels, organic matter, and microbial activity. By regularly checking these indicators, farmers and land managers can make informed decisions about soil management practices.
Effective soil health monitoring can lead to improved crop yields, reduced erosion, and enhanced biodiversity. Tools such as soil tests and field observations help identify issues and track changes over time. Maintaining healthy soil is crucial for sustainable agriculture and the overall health of the environment.
