Soil degradation is a big problem for farming and the environment, especially in tropical areas. Different ways of tilling the soil can affect how well it can be used sustainably. Soil stability is how easily the soil can change, while soil resilience is how well it can recover after being stressed. Soil quality is how well the soil can do its job, like growing crops and keeping the environment healthy. Scientists need to come up with better ways to measure these things by doing long-term experiments on different types of soil.
