Microbiological Soil Quality Indicators Associated with Long-Term Agronomical Management of Mediterranean Fruit Orchards

Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining soil fertility sensu lato. Sustainable soil management aims to make the soil environment more hospitable increasing microorganism diversity and complexity by means of the minimal disturbance of soil and inputs of organic material. This results i...
