Overview

This review evaluates microbial biomarkers for assessing soil health, linking community functions to productivity and ecosystem resilience.

Key Points

  • Microbial biomarkers provide a promising method for soil health assessment, integrating biological processes into evaluations.
  • Enzymatic biomarkers like β-glucosidase strongly predict carbon turnover, accounting for 62–85% of variability in studies.
  • Challenges include spatial-temporal variability in microbial communities and limited tool adoption in resource-limited regions.
  • Future efforts should focus on standardizing protocols and developing affordable tools for incorporating microbial metrics into soil health indices.
