Novel soil quality indicators
Soil quality indicators are soil parameters which are sensitive to soil management and related to soil functions. Novel techniques for measuring certain soil parameters, especially in the fields of biochemistry and biology, represent a unique opportunity to better understand the effects of soil management on soil functions. A number of novel soil quality indicators have been researched and developed in iSQAPER.
