A guide to measuring the biological quality of soils for the seed potato sector
To diagnose the biological status of a soil, indicators are used to show the abundance, diversity and activity of organisms. A good indicator must be relevant to the functions being studied, adapted to the ecosystems being studied (e.g. agricultural environments), capable of discriminating between different soils, and compatible with the technical and financial constraints of the observers.
This guide presents 10 simple and inexpensive methods
for estimating the abundance, diversity and activity of soil organisms.
