Large‐Scale Assessment of Soil Physical Quality of Rural Settlements in the Southeast of Goiás, Brazil

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Land use and soil physical quality are related. In this work, the S index was used to evaluate the physical quality of the soils of three rural settlement units located in the Brazilian Cerrado, with areas ranging from 700 to more than 4000 hectares, based on a novel method. To map the S index, a set of pedotransfer functions for water retention curves
