Abstract: Soil quality plays a crucial role in agriculture, environmental conservation and sustainability. Evaluating and monitoring soil quality indicators is essential to ensure responsible and effective agricultural practices. This article aims to emphasize how biotechnology offers a series of advanced tools that allow for a more accurate and comprehensive analysis of soil quality indicators. For this research, the RLS (Literature Review) method was used on reliable academic websites. Based on this assumption, it can be stated that the use of environmental DNA sequencing techniques allows the identification of soil microbial diversity, which is essential for soil health. This includes identifying bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that play key roles in fertility and nutrient cycling (Alves et al., 2019), furthermore, molecular biology and genomic techniques allow the analysis of genes related to microbial activity and the degradation of pollutants in the soil. This provides valuable information about the soil's ability to support plant life and resist contamination (Carrer, 2010). In relation to bioindicators, it can be highlighted how biotechnology helps to develop specific bioindicators that reveal the health status of the soil, such as enzymatic activity and the presence of beneficial microorganisms. Biotechnology also plays other roles, such as in the remediation of contaminated soil, for example, through the introduction of genetically modified microorganisms that can degrade pollutants. Therefore, biotechnology is a valuable ally in evaluating and improving soil quality indicators. By allowing a more in-depth analysis of soil biology and the identification of specific bioindicators, biotechnology helps to optimize agricultural management, conserve soil and promote more sustainable land use practices. Furthermore, biotechnology plays a crucial role in the remediation of contaminated soils, contributing to environmental restoration. As agriculture and soil conservation continue to evolve, biotechnology will play an increasingly significant role in maintaining and improving soil quality.
