What is Soil Health?

Biological, chemical, and physical properties of soil are all important factors in soil health. All of these factors support diverse soil processes critical to productive, resilient, and sustainable landscapes.

Biological

This is the life in the soil.

Roots, soil microbes, and invertebrates are living organisms that enrich the health of our soil.

Chemical

These are the nutrients in the soil.

Transformation, supply, and retention are processes essential to the health of our soil.

Physical

This is the structure of the soil.

Solids, air, and water are elements that are fundamental to the health of our soil
