Bioeconomy strategies have been adopted in many countries around the world. Their sustainable implementation requires a management of soils that maintains soil functions and avoids land degradation. Only then, ecosystem services can be maintained and resources used efficiently. We present an analytical framework for impact assessment that links policy and technology driving forces for soil management decisions to soil processes, soil functional changes, and their impacts on ecosystem services and resource use efficiency, both being targets that have been set by society and are anchored in bioeconomy policy strategies and sustainable development goals. Although the resource use efficiency concept has a long‐term tradition, most studies of agricultural management do not address the role of soils in their efficiency assessment. The concept of ecosystem services has received increasing attention over the last years; however, its link to soil functions and soil management practices is still not well established. This study is the first to conceptually link the socioeconomic processes of external drivers for soil management with the natural processes of soil functions and connect them back to impacts on the social system. Application of the framework helps strengthen the science‐policy interface and to systemically assess and compare the opportunities and threats of soil management practices from the perspective of goals set by society at different spatial and temporal scales. Insights gained in this way can be applied in stakeholder decision‐making processes and used to inform the design of governance instruments aimed at sustainable soil management within a bioeconomy.

管理土壤功能以实现可持续的生物经济-评估框架和最新技术水平

生物经济策略已被世界上许多国家采用。它们的可持续实施需要对土壤进行管理，以保持土壤功能并避免土地退化。只有这样，生态系统服务才能得到维护，资源得到有效利用。我们提供了一个影响评估的分析框架，该框架将土壤管理决策的政策和技术驱动力与土壤过​​程，土壤功能变化及其对生态系统服务和资源利用效率的影响联系在一起，这都是社会设定的目标在生物经济政策战略和可持续发展目标方面。尽管资源利用效率的概念具有悠久的历史，但是大多数农业管理研究并未解决土壤在其效率评估中的作用。在过去的几年中，生态系统服务的概念受到越来越多的关注。但是，它与土壤功能和土壤管理实践之间的联系仍然不明确。这项研究是第一个从概念上将土壤管理外部驱动力的社会经济过程与土壤功能的自然过程联系起来，并将其重新联系到对社会系统的影响上。框架的应用有助于加强科学与政策之间的联系，并从社会在不同时空尺度上设定的目标角度来系统地评估和比较土壤管理实践的机会和威胁。以这种方式获得的见解可应用于利益相关者的决策过程中，并用于指导旨在实现生物经济内可持续土壤管理的治理工具的设计。
