Abstract:
The American Society of Agronomy established the Soil Health Community to provide a venue to discuss, promote, and evaluate soil health topics while fostering information exchange and building a strong scientific basis to promote soil health. The Soil Health Community is dedicated to promoting the role of soil health in understanding and improving agroecosystem productivity, efficiency, resilience, and adaptability.  This community will focus on the latest findings from studies of soil health including the development of new and sensitive biological, physical, and chemical soil health indicators, the assessment of relationships among soil health indicators and soil functions, and the application and interpretation of soil health indicators. Is there a specific role that the ASA Soil Health Community can play to help support the national efforts currently underway or any action items that need to be discussed and implemented?  Is there information this group would like distributed to the soil health community members?
