The importance ofsoil organic matter Key to drought-resistant soil and sustained food production9789251053669TC/M/A0100E/1 92-5-105366-9 ISSN 0253-2050 soil organic matter the product of on-site biological decomposition affects the chemical and physical properties of the soil and its overall health. Its composition and breakdown rate affect: the soil structure and porosity; the water infiltration rate and moisture holding capacity of soils; the diversity and biological activity of soil organisms; and plant nutrient availability. This Soils Bulletin concentrates on the organic matter dynamics of cropping soils and discusses the circumstances that deplete organic matter and their negative outcomes. It then moves on to more proactive solutions. It reviews a basket of practices in order to show how they can increase organic matter content and discusses the land and cropping benefits that then importance ofsoil organic matterKey to drought-resistant soiland sustained food productionThe importance ofsoil organic matterKey to drought-resistant soiland sustained food productionFAOSOILSBULLETINFAO SOILS BULLETIN8080 FAOThe importance of soil organic matter Key to drought-resistant soil and sustained food production80 ISSN 0253-2050 Copies of FAO publica
