Soil Quality Assessment Framework

The Soil Quality Assessment Framework evaluates how healthy and productive soil is by examining physical, chemical, and biological properties. It considers factors like nutrient levels, compaction, organic matter, and the presence of beneficial microorganisms. The goal is to determine if soil can support plant growth, resist erosion, and recover from stresses. This systematic approach helps farmers, land managers, and environmentalists make informed decisions for sustainable land use, ensuring soil remains fertile and resilient for future use. It provides a comprehensive picture of soil health, guiding management practices to maintain or improve soil quality.
