Entry: soil ecosystem functions
URI: https://data.geoscience.earth/ncl/misc/375
soil ecosystem functions result from the interactions between biotic and abiotic soil components enabling soil to function as a vital living system and to provide ecosystem services. There are 6 soil functions that are prevalent at the site level: carbon storage and dynamics, nutrient supply to plants, water retention and infiltration, habitat for biodiversity, pollutant retention and degradation and physical stability. At a bigger scale in time and space they can include the contribution to air quality, climate regulation or even pedogenesis.
