Unlocking Soil Secrets: Boosting Food Security and Fighting Climate Change
The article discusses how soil quality and soil health are important for achieving global sustainability goals. It suggests focusing on soil health to assess current soil conditions and using soil quality to understand the overall soil condition based on past and present management. The study proposes using simulation models to measure soil health and quality for different climate conditions. The research shows that different soil types react differently to management practices and climate change, impacting ecosystem services like crop production, clean water provision, climate mitigation, and biodiversity preservation.
