Summary in the original language of the document

This tool provides benefits and practical recommendations of soil microbiomes. Benefits include ecosystem services provided by soil microbiomes, which can be exploited to help to reduce fertiliser and pesticide inputs, as well as to help to improve soil structure and plant health. A better understanding of microbial soil ecosystem services can be instructive to select cropping systems and agricultural practices. Some practical recommendations are to diversify cropping systems, include legumes, preserve soil structure, minimize fertilizer use.


Summary translation

Dieses Instrument bietet Vorteile und praktische Empfehlungen für Bodenmikrobiome. Zu den Vorteilen gehören die von Bodenmikrobiomen erbrachten Ökosystemleistungen, die genutzt werden können, um den Einsatz von Düngemitteln und Pestiziden zu verringern sowie die Bodenstruktur und die Pflanzengesundheit zu verbessern. Ein besseres Verständnis der mikrobiellen Ökosystemleistungen des Bodens kann bei der Auswahl von Anbausystemen und landwirtschaftlichen Verfahren hilfreich sein. Einige praktische Empfehlungen lauten, Anbausysteme zu diversifizieren, Leguminosen einzubeziehen, die Bodenstruktur zu erhalten und den Einsatz von Düngemitteln zu minimieren.

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Learn more about ecosystem services provided by a healthy soil microbiome.
What problem does the tool address?:All agricultural soils harbour a microbiome, consisting of a high diversity of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists. Together they provide ecosystem services which are crucial for sustainable agriculture and a healthy environment. Agricultural soil management may not deliberately impact microbial diversity
function, however it may possibly trigger adverse effects, e.g. higher production of greenhouse gases, increased levels of soil-borne plant pathogens or inefficient use of fertilisers.
What solution does the tool offer?:Microbiomes strongly respond to environmental changes and management practices such as tillage (till versus no-till) and fertilisation. This responsiveness can be used for stirring their activities. Farming systems should be managed to promote diverse microbiomes, thereby stabilizing microbial ecosystem services. Examples of adapted management schemes are described in recommendations. More knowledge on promoting beneficial microbiomes should be generated through research.
