BIOINDICATORS FOR MONITORING SOIL BIODIVERSITY AND SOIL ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
Keywords:
soil microbial funtionality, microorganisms, soil microbial taxonomyAbstract
Soil is crucial for the long-term sustainability of agricultural/agrarian systems and the environment; these affect all soil components and can have a deep impact on soil biodiversity. Soil biodiversity plays a crucial role in providing ecosystem services, supporting soil multifunctionality and the value it provides to humanity. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor, conserve, restore and improve soil biodiversity that can be classified into abundance, composition, functionality, interactions and processes that will allow maintaining soil and its functionality for present and future generations. Therefore, the objective of this article is to know the different bioindicators of soil microbial biodiversity in order to integrate them into sustainable soil management policies. Measurements of different bioindicators e. g. Total organic carbon, microbial carbon biomass, soil respiration, measurements of enzymatic activities related to the C, N and P cycles, DNA metabarcoding, microscopy and network analysis, among others, will help us monitor soil health and apply appropriate measures for sustainable agricultural management under a global change scenario.
