Healthy and diverse communities of soil organisms influence the quantity and quality of food production and key soil ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water quality protection, climate regulation and nutrient cycling. Agricultural soils provide a unique system because they can be managed to facilitate the conservation of soil biodiversity and the functions it provides. Findings from this research program will inform policies that promote sustainable agricultural management practices, which ensure levels of agricultural production necessary to meet societys demands for plant biomass for food, feed, and biofuels, while minimizing the impact on soil, air, water quality and human health.

健康和多样化的土壤生物群落影响粮食生产的数量和质量以及关键的土壤生态系统服务，如固碳、水质保护、气候调节和养分循环。农业土壤提供了一个独特的系统，因为可以对它们进行管理，以促进土壤生物多样性的保护及其提供的功能。这项研究计划的结果将为促进可持续农业管理实践的政策提供参考，这些实践确保必要的农业生产水平，以满足社会对用于食品、饲料和生物燃料的植物生物质的需求，同时将对土壤、空气、水质和人类健康的影响降至最低。
