Book excerpt: Soil health in vineyards describes the ability of the soil to resist disturbances, like large wind and rain events, improve the efficiency of nutrient use, minimizing excess losses to the environment, and grow a healthy crop while also benefiting the surrounding landscape. With repeated measurements, vineyard managers can track changes in soil health over time. Building on soil fertility and soil quality concepts, soil health encompasses the feedback between soil organisms and soil physical and chemical properties. Each of the indicators described in this article measure soil health individually but ultimately are all connected.
