Soil quality – A critical review
Else K. Bünemann,Giulia Bongiorno,Giulia Bongiorno,Zhanguo Bai,Rachel Creamer,Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Ron G.M. de Goede,Luuk Fleskens,Violette Geissen,Thomas W. Kuyper,Paul Mäder,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Wijnand Sukkel,Jan Willem van Groenigen,Lijbert Brussaard +15 more
TL;DR: It is found that explicit evaluation of soil quality with respect to specific soil threats, soil functions and ecosystem services has rarely been implemented, and few approaches providing clear interpretation schemes of measured indicator values limits their adoption by land managers as well as policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of labile carbon fractions to tillage and organic matter management and their potential as comprehensive soil quality indicators across pedoclimatic conditions in Europe

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of different labile carbon fractions, namely dissolved organic carbon (DOC), hydrophilic DOC (Hy-DOC), permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC, also referred to as Active Carbon), hot water extractable carbon (HWEC) and particulate organic matter carbon (POMC), as soil quality indicators in agricultural systems was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil suppressiveness to Pythium ultimum in ten European long-term field experiments and its relation with soil parameters
Giulia Bongiorno,Giulia Bongiorno,Joeke Postma,Else K. Bünemann,Lijbert Brussaard,Ron G.M. de Goede,Paul Mäder,Lucius Tamm,Barbara Thuerig +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured soil suppressiveness with a bioassay using Pythium ultimum - Lepidium sativum (cress) as a model system and found that reduced tillage had a positive effect on the suppressiveness of the soil across sites using an overall model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced tillage, but not organic matter input, increased nematode diversity and food web stability in European long-term field experiments.
Giulia Bongiorno,Giulia Bongiorno,Natacha Bodenhausen,Else K. Bünemann,Lijbert Brussaard,Stefan Geisen,Paul Mäder,Casper W. Quist,Jean-Claude Walser,Ron G.M. de Goede +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that nematode communities were more strongly affected by tillage than by organic matter addition and that molecular profiling of nematodes communities has the potential to reveal the effects of soil management on soil quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of sieve size and soil mass of analysis on POXC results were quantified using replicated measurements across 12 labs in the US and the EU (n ǫ = 7951 samples).
