Synopsis (short abstract) This manual provides information to help technical level staff, researchers and educators to assess soil health status, and provides some methods, tools and advice on how to sustain and improve soil quality under different farming systems. A major focus is placed on soil macrofauna, the visible part of the surprisingly rich soil life, and its activities in agricultural soils, as this is, firstly, reasonably representative of soil biodiversity as a whole (including micro- and meso-organisms and p opulations) and, secondly, is the part of soil life that can be readily observed and monitored in terms of effects of various management practices.
