The concept of soil health recognizes as a living and dynamic natural system, notion that aptly fits in the realm biology. However, tests scoring tools are often dominated by indicators fertility chemistry. Biological remain understudied underrepresented assessments. To address this gap, here we evaluate attributes reflect biological functions vitality (including organic total C, N, mineralized microbial phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) biomass, extracellular enzyme activity, adaptation response ratio (ARR)). We assess if these can be contextualized classification measure their responsiveness to agricultural management practices. Despite nature health, find great group constrains measurements serves useful contextualizing factor adjust functions. Further, (namely P S activity) generally improve with more regenerative crop production practices such cover cropping or Although other CO2 mineralization, N C cycling enzymes, PLFA ARR showed fewer differences among practices, all were greater under prairie grassland than cropland. These trends also supported matter stoichiometry (N:C, P:C, S:C) results, suggesting element carbon ratios might features for future In scores class including embody pools, processes, life, assessments will not only better represent biology appropriately contextualize scores, but move towards targeting functioning.

Potential trace elements pollution in cities poses a threat to the environment and human health. Bio-availability affects toxicity levels of potential elementss on organisms. This study focused exploring relationship between soil, plant, atmospheric dust Urumqi, typical city western China. It aims help reduce protect residents' The following conclusions were drawn: 1) like Cr, Pb, As, Ni are more prevalent soil than plants. Chromium was first group, Cadmium Mercury second, Plumb, Arsenic, Nickel third. Atmospheric exhibit significantly higher heavy metal content For example, summary up 88 mg/kg. 2) Soil, dust, plants have highest amount residual form. Residual form had percentage average 53.3%, whereas Organic matter bound lowest just 7.7%. contained less dust. 3) correlation coefficient carbonated Cd is 0.95, which closely related. Other show similar correlations their bio-available contents plants, dust.This suggests that urban area, focus should be converting into instead increasing plants' absorption elements.
