Soil Health in Agricultural Science Directory

Soil is one of agriculture’s fundamental resources. Without it, agriculture would not exist as we know it. However, Australia’s soils are old and weathered, and some of our agricultural practices have degraded soils so that they become less productive and cause environmental degradation. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the concept of soil health, which considers all aspects of soil, that is, physical structure, chemical components and biological life, rather than looking at each of these separately. A soil does not have to be agriculturally productive to be healthy. However, many agricultural practices can make soils less healthy than they were in their natural state.
