and that corrective actions should be taken (e.g.,
reduced grazing, addition of organic residues to attract decompacting fauna such as earthworms). Similarly, a farmer who encounters
spiders within the genus Pardosa may conclude that soil in that area
possesses relatively good chemical fertility (high in SOM and key
macronutrients) and overall soil quality (Table 7), thus indicating
that the need for fertilizer input may be lower than elsewhere on
his/her farm.
