Description:	In the past 20 years, Embrapa´s research group on Bioindicators of Soil Quality (SQ), has been dedicated to the selection of robust SQ/Soil Health (SH) bioindicators to be used in commercial routine soil analyses in Brazil. The main objective is to provide a simple, effective and practical tool able to allow SH monitoring at farm scale. Based on this, farmers would know exactly what, why, how, and when to evaluate SQ/SH and most importantly, how to interpret what is being evaluated. Because of these studies, two soil enzymes, arylsulfatase (ARYL) and β-glucosidase (GLU) (associated to the S and C cycles, respectively), were selected, and interpretative algorithms were developed. The inclusion of these two soil enzymes in routine soil analysis, along with the calculation of Soil Quality Indices (SQIs), were named as soil bioanalysis technology (BioAS in Portuguese; SoilBio ‘in English).
