ABSTRACT
Soil health, or the capacity of the soil to function, is critical to human survival. A comprehensive understanding of soil health status can lead to better, regenerative, and sustainable management of soils through holistic, adaptive, and data-driven approaches. A healthy soil contains four components: mineral matter, organic matter, soil water, and soil air. Soil used in agriculture serves as the primary nutrient base for the plants. Soil microorganisms possess the ability to give an integrated measure of soil health. Major functions of healthy soils are to support plants and biodiversity, provide the right amount of nutrients at the right time, supply water, reduce pollution, provide materials for civil works, and display the Earth's history and climate change. Soil health problems can be managed by paying attention to the soil's physical, chemical, and biological features,. Soil properties are rate-limiting factors, which affect soil processes, in turn driving soil function and productivity. Good Agriculture Practices have benefits: a reduced need for chemical inputs, drought resilience, increased biodiversity, and reduced environmental impact. Enzymes are the vital activators in life processes, and likewise in soil they are known to play a substantial role in maintaining the health of the soil environment.
