  abstract = {{A}s a response to the worldwide challenge raised by soil degradation, {C}onservation {A}griculture ({CA}) was proposed to help restoring the three main soil functions, i.e. carbon transformation, nutrient cycling and structure maintenance. {H}owever, there is still a lack of integrative studies that assess the overall impact of {CA} on soil health. {T}o fill the gap, {B}iofunctooll ({R}), a set of in-field indicators, was developed to monitor changes in soil biological functioning. {I}n this study, {B}iofunctool ({R}) was used to assess the impact of a conventional tillage ({CT}) and three {CA} annual-based cropping systems on soil health on a {C}ambodian {O}xisol. {E}ight indicators related to the three soil functions were monitored and integrated into a {S}oil {Q}uality index ({SQI}), i.e. the {B}iofunctool ({R}) {I}ndex. {O}verall, we found that soil health was twice higher under the {CA} treatments than under {CT} treatment. {A}lthough it was similar in the three {CA} treatments, the contribution of each soil function to the soil health diverged. {A}n analysis of soil carbon dynamics also showed that {CA} support short-term soil organic carbon stabilization compared to {CT}. {T}his study demonstrates that {B}iofunctool ({R}) is a robust, relevant, time-and cost-effective in-field assessment tool that can be used in multiple ways including cropping system management, capacity building of local stakeholders, and policy dialogue.},
