1. Can CRP Serve As a Soil Health Benchmark: A Minnesota Case Study Utilizing SMAFSoil health is an important concept relating to sustainable agriculture and food security. However, the absence of a universally accepted benchmark for soil health complicates its application as a tool to measure soil functional capabilities. Here we propose the use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) soils as a potential benchmark for soil health in Southern Minnesota. The Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) was used to evaluate soil health indicators and quantify the soil health gap... O. Hoffman, C. Chorpenning, C. Buchanan, T. Trimarco, N. Carr, J.

2. Interpreting Soil Health Test Results to Guide Management for Missouri Row CropsSoil health determines long‑term productivity, nutrient cycling, water retention, and resilience in row‑crop systems. Missouri-specific, data-driven framework for interpreting six complementary soil health indicators—total organic carbon (TOC), permanganate-oxidizable carbon (POXC), 3-day soil respiration, wet aggregate stability (WAS), autoclaved citrate-extractable (ACE) protein, and potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN)—was developed by the University of Missouri Soil Health...
