- Title
Soil health at a crossroad.
- Authors
Baveye, Philippe C.
- Abstract
Land, for Leopold, included more than soils, but in many respects, the philosophy behind his "land health", which he did not define operationally, was not very different than what Lehmann et al. (2020) advocate. Some researchers (e.g., Berkes et al., 2012) consider that, at an abstract level, Leopold's concept of land health has been influential and, in particular, has been a key inspiration for the "ecohealth" movement. In a 2005 article in which they contended that "land health" is preferable in practice than the ill-conceptualized notion of "sustainability", Newton and Freyfogle (2005) nevertheless conceded that land health "will not be easy to define, and [...] very much needs definition". Lehmann et al. (2020) recently published an article in which they propose a review of the very topical notion of soil health and of its practical significance for soil management.
