This report describes the meaning of ecological quality of soil and two ways to quantify such quality. A high number of processes takes place in the soil. These processes are important for mankind (ecosystem services) as they contribute to, e.g., food production, the quality and type of nature and the production of clean groundwater (for the drinking water production). The role of soil organisms is important in these processes. For a sustainable use of the soil it is important to use and manage the soil organisms in a way that these processes are secured for the future. Also a change in soil use must always be possible. To facilitate a sustainability policy for the soil a biological indicator for soil quality (BISQ) is being developed, which is designed for application on a national scale. Therefore ecological data are collected on species diversity, species abundance and activity of soil organisms
