Soil Health —What Is It Good for?
Abstract
ABSTRACT The way in which soil health is helping to draw people's attention to soil science is unprecedented in history. Yet, soil scientists may find it difficult to accept that this popularized term is necessary, as similar terms already exist. In this opinion, we want to draw once more the boundaries between the different concepts. We congratulate Alewell et al. for placing this discussion on a solid ground. May it provide a basis for vivid discussion, identify knowledge gaps, and boost soil awareness on a solid scientific foundation.
