title: 'SoilFunctionality: Soil Functionality Measurement'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.SoilFunctionality
abstract: Generally, soil functionality is characterized by its capability to sustain
  microbial activity, nutritional element supply, structural stability and aid for
  crop production. Since soil functions can be linked to 80% of ecosystem services,
  conservation of degraded land should strive to restore not only the capacity of
  soil to sustain flora but also ecosystem provisions. The primary ecosystem services
  of soil are carbon sequestration, food or biomass production, provision of microbial
  habitat, nutrient recycling. However, the actual magnitude of soil functions provided
  by agricultural land uses has never been quantified. Nutrient supply capacity (NSC)
  is a measure of nutrient dynamics in restored land uses. Carbon accumulation proficiency
  (CAP) is a measure of ecosystem carbon sequestration. Biological activity index
  (BAI) is the average of responses of all enzyme activities in treated land over
  control/reference land. The CAP parameter investigates how land uses may affect
  carbon flows, retention, and sequestration. The CAP provides a signal for C cycles,
  flows, and the systems' relative operational supremacy.
