This dimension emphasizes the soil's ability to retain, absorb, and store water, which is essential for plant growth and overall ecosystem health. It monitors soil moisture levels, ensuring that soils can effectively support vegetation, regulate water flow, and mitigate the impact of droughts or floods. Maintaining adequate water-holding capacity in soils helps sustain agriculture, manage water resources, prevent flood-related damages, and preserve natural habitats.
