Soil Health

Biodiversité et forêts

The good condition and health of soils are essential for the proper functioning of natural terrestrial ecosystems and anthropized environments/ecosystems. In ecosystems, soil supports biodiversity (flora, fauna) or is a habitat for it (soil bacteria, fungi, micro-meso or macrofauna). Different ecosystems exist under various soil and climate conditions and for different land uses.

Climate change and soil degradation (artificialization, pollution, erosion) are the main causes affecting the health of the soil. They reduce their ability to provide support for vegetation and habitat for edaphic biodiversity.

Soil engineering expert (OptimSitu®), Microhumus supports your ecosystem and biodiversity restoration projects. Soil is a complex environment whose fertility is linked to physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Microhumus relies on monitoring various indicators to assess the health of soils (physical, chemical, and biological) and highlights the ecosystem services provided by soils according to your restoration or renaturation objectives for terrestrial ecosystems. With the help of our specialized engineers, Microhumus assists industrialists (e.g., quarry and mining companies) in their post-exploitation ecological restoration goals.

With this expertise, our team is dedicated to advising, identifying, and creating the best strategies for restoring soil and its biodiversity.
