Description: Generally, soil functionality is characterized by its
        capability to sustain microbial activity, nutritional element
        supply, structural stability and aid for crop production. Since
        soil functions can be linked to 80% of ecosystem services,
        conservation of degraded land should strive to restore not only
        the capacity of soil to sustain flora but also ecosystem
        provisions. The primary ecosystem services of soil are carbon
        sequestration, food or biomass production, provision of
        microbial habitat, nutrient recycling. However, the actual
        magnitude of soil functions provided by agricultural land uses
        has never been quantified. Nutrient supply capacity (NSC) is a
        measure of nutrient dynamics in restored land uses. Carbon
        accumulation proficiency (CAP) is a measure of ecosystem carbon
        sequestration. Biological activity index (BAI) is the average
        of responses of all enzyme activities in treated land over
        control/reference land. The CAP parameter investigates how land
        uses may affect carbon flows, retention, and sequestration. The
        CAP provides a signal for C cycles, flows, and the systems'
        relative operational supremacy.
