Summary in the original language of the document
This tool explains the impact of soil organic matter on physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Because some soil organic matter is always lost through farming activity, increasing levels is not only possible, but also necessary, some methods include crop rotation, cover crops and green manures, perennial crops, composts, manures, organic fertilizers, soil amendments, biochar and mob grazing!
This tool is relevant for all practitioners looking to increase the concentration of soil organic matter in their soil.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |

| Teaser: | Increase soil organic matter in your soil and improve many functions! |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Soil consists of different materials. Even if the main fraction is mineral, the organic matter in soil plays a critical role in the functions of a healthy soil. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | The main functions in soil, such as primary productivity, water purification and regulation, carbon sequestration and regulation, biodiversity and nutrient cycling are all highly dependent on soil organic matter. the level of SOM is not only critical for the soil and the farmer, but also for climate, environment and society as a whole. |
