Manure impacts labile pools of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) which can
influence soil microbial composition (MCC) and enzyme activities, and hence soil health …

Soil health lies at the core of a sustainable food production system. A comprehensive
evaluation of different agronomic practices and their effect on soil health is essential to …

Soil health is the capacity of the soil to provide an environment for optimum growth and
development of plants, while also ensuring the health of animals and humans. Animal …

Soil management practices that result in increased soil C also impact soil microbial biomass
