Soil quality assessment is the process of evaluating the health and productivity of soil. It involves measuring various physical, chemical, and biological properties, such as soil texture, nutrient levels, and microbial activity. These assessments help determine how well soil can support plant growth and maintain ecosystem functions. The results of soil quality assessments can guide land management practices, such as agriculture and conservation. By understanding soil conditions, farmers and landowners can make informed decisions about fertilization, crop rotation, and erosion control, ultimately leading to sustainable land use and improved environmental health.
