The phrase "soil health" mentions to the entire functionality of the soil as determined by the biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of the soil that are necessary for long-term, sustainable agricultural production by little impact on the environment. The ability of soil to carry out environmental and agronomic tasks, such as biomass productivity, sensitivity to management inputs, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stressors, is referred to as soil health. Since it is impossible to assess directly, soil fertility status and other specific soil parameters, including organic matter content, might be utilized in order to infer the state of the soil. Climate change may have an effect on soil health through temperature changes, salinity, hydrology, and the availability of organic matter. Main characteristics of the soil that are crucial for preserving its health are its desirable texture, structure, and tilt. The impact of several anticipated global change drivers, such as increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, rising temperatures, changed precipitation patterns, as well as nitrogen in the atmosphere accumulation, on the environmental, substance, and organic functions of soil, should be taken into account when describing the condition of soils in connection with changes in the climate.
