Soil health is an emerging paradigm for which much research in row crop agriculture has been undertaken.Research involving grazing lands and soil health has not been as active, a feature partially attributed to (i) greater erosional rates Demographic characteristics and ocular needs of children attending child eye clinics in Cross River State, Nigeria: a retrospective analysis of clinical records in cropland, (ii) loss of soil organic matter and reduced soil structure attributed to annual tillage practices, (iii) cash flow from cropland is easier to visualize than the value-added nature of grazing lands, and (iv) there exists more competitive grant funding sources for croplands.Grazing lands do require soil quality augmentation and investment in soil health to optimize their ecosystem services potential.This manuscript, with an emphasis on beef cattle grazing in the central USA, attempts to survey the literature to (i) identify the influence of grazing on important ecosystem services provided by Mollisols and Alfisols, (ii) develop a listing of soil indicators that may be selected to quantify and credential soil quality, and (iii) develop guidelines that align soil Non-invasive assessment of oxygenation status using the oxygen reserve index in dogs indicators and changes in grazing management to support the restoration of ecosystem services.
