| Popis: | Soil health indicators are a set of measurable and interpretable chemical, physical and biological parameters related to soil functional processes that can be used to assess the state of soil health under different agroecosystems. Multiple indicators are examined in the case of soil health assessment after adoption no-till system such as, total carbon and its fractions, nitrogen, bulk density, aggregate stability and infiltration of water. In this chapter, we use organic carbon (particulate, associated and microbial) and visual structure indicators to assess soil health after a short and long duration of adoption no-till by depth under agro-pedo-climate context in Algeria. Three plots submitted in NT to different transition durations (3, 6 and 9 years) and a control plot submitted in CT were studied. Soil samples were taken at two depths (H1: 0-10 and H2: 10-20 cm). Analytical results showed that indicators in the surface horizon were significantly (p |
