Abstract:
Promoting ecological civilization construction is an inevitable measure to achieve modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and also serves as a value orientation and long-term guarantee for soil health. Soil, as a supporting element of the ecosystem, not only possesses multiple ecological functions such as carrying biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and conserving water sources, but also serves as a foundational support for ensuring food security, guaranteeing the quality of living environments, and building a solid ecological safety barrier. The health of soil is related to the sustainability of agricultural production, the stability of the ecological environment, and the level of human health. Within the perspective of ecological civilization, soil health encompasses ecological, production, and living dimensions, with its core characteristics reflecting greenness, systemicity, holisticness, and practicality. It has contemporary value in implementing the Beautiful China strategy, promoting ecological civilization construction, building a solid ecological safety barrier, and maintaining the operation of ecosystems. Currently, soil governance faces a series of problems such as outdated concepts compared to the requirements for green development, a lack of cyclical target planning in the cultivation process, regional shortcomings in restoration technologies, and the need for improved collaborative mechanisms in policy support. It is urgent to establish an ecological value-oriented soil development philosophy, construct a healthy nurturing system with cyclical planning for soil, strengthen technological support for regional adaptability in soil use, and improve the collaborative governance mechanism for ensuring soil health, providing practical support for enhancing soil health.
