Exploring the link between soil health and crop productivity
Yan'an University · South China Botanical Garden
Abstract
Understanding the complex interactions of plants and soils in the face of global food security and environmental degradation challenges is critical to the future of sustainable agriculture. This review discusses the important link between soil health and crop productivity by providing and comprehensive assessment of soil properties and management methods. By examining the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, it uncovers the key limitations posed by the soil environment on crop growth. The review highlights how soil texture, nutrient availability, and moisture levels directly impact on root growth, water uptake, and nutrient use efficiencies, while also exploring how diverse cropping systems…
