Dr Mehran Rezaei Rashti, Griffith University, discusses findings from the ongoing Soil CRC research project (4.1.003). The study aims to provide a practical methodology for assessing the resilience of soil in agricultural ecosystems against the environmental stresses of compaction and drought. This research provides valuable insights into the role of management practices and organic residues in enhancing soil resilience to drought conditions.
