  abstract = {{W}ith the development of agroecology, soil plays a particularly important role in the design of sustainable agricultural practices. {T}he soils are the place of many processes operated by living organisms interacting with one another. {S}oil biodiversity performs various processes which determine the main aggregated functions and finally agrosystem services and sustainability. {T}he understanding of these relationships is particularly important in a global context where biodiversity, including the soil one, is highly threatened. {I}t becomes urgent to promote these ecological processes, to intensify them by appropriate practices considering the socio-economic constraints, and finally, to be able to measure them. {R}evisiting the ecological theories of the terrestrial ecosystem functioning is a need to improve our consideration of the soil in the agroecological transition. {T}his theoretical approach is illustrated by four studies conducted in the tropics demonstrating the possibility to intensify the soil ecological processes and to solve agronomic dysfunctions. {F}inally, we highlight the need to define soil indicators based on ecological processes for an appropriate measurement of this intensification and we propose a methodological framework to optimize soil ecological functions for a sustainable supply of agrosystem services.},
