Traditional SQIs, which often rely solely on physicochemical properties, are slow to detect changes in soil health and may not provide timely insights into soil degradation. In contrast, microorganisms in the soil respond quickly to changes in land use and management practices. These microbes are crucial in driving soil functions influencing fertility, health, and quality. Understanding how microbial communities transform in response to management practices can enhance our ability to predict soil quality trajectories. However, existing models cannot account for the complex and […]
