WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
National spatial analysis connects soil organic carbon, texture, available water capacity and vegetation density with mapped regulating ecosystem services in agricultural land.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
An isolated soil-service index may miss the interacting properties on which a management decision depends.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
Spatial correlation cannot prove that changing one property automatically improves every other ecological service.
