Abstract:BackgroundSoil quality (SQ) assessment is affected by methods that convert data sets into indices, and such analyses are expensive and time‐consuming. Qualitative SQ assessments are faster and cheaper than quantitative methods, and they can be repeated to monitor SQ in crop and pasture systems. We evaluated SQ using qualitative and quantitative SQ indicators of two grazing systems under Voisin Rational Grazing (VRG) with trees (WT) or without trees (NT). We took an adjacent native forest as a reference, and we… Show more
