This visual summary document contains several infographics that show a general improvement in soil health as land-use changed from forestry to pasture. Monitoring and management is required to reach optimal soil health and maintain these levels including targeted fertiliser application to stay within economic and environmental limits. All soils rated poorly in soil biological indicators, and may require action beyond standard practice to create an environment to enhance soil biology and the services they provide.
