Key messages
- Healthy soil provides essential ecosystem services — the benefits we receive from nature — and forms the foundation for many economic sectors.
- In Estonia, the good condition of soils has largely been maintained due to limited land coverage by artificial surfaces, a short growing season, and the widespread use of sustainable agricultural practices.
- The main challenges for Estonian agricultural soils are soil acidity and excessive phosphorus content.
