In this video, Eliza Reiger from Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board explains regenerative agriculture as the overlap between agriculture and ecology, aiming for self-healing, resilient systems. She explains how soil health depends on interactions between plants, water, biodiversity, soil biology, and carbon. Plant diversity supports diverse microbes, boosting nutrient cycling and building stable soil carbon, which improves structure and water-holding capacity. Practices such as multi-species cover cropping, holistic grazing, and managing soil constraints all influence these processes. While focused on South Australia, the information applies broadly across Australian soils [21:50].#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.

SSA reminds users that these resources are a guide only. Our understanding of soil science is improving continuously so it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a Registered Soil Professional or a Certified Professional Soil ScientistÂ
