Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT Assessing soil quality in forest fragments is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and guiding conservation strategies. This study evaluates soil properties (0–0.20m) and leaf area index (LAI) using principal component analysis (PCA) and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to identify key indicators of soil environmental quality ...

Using DEA as a tool for MCDM: some remarks
, 1999 The purpose of this paper is to study some proposals to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool for Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). We first show that the concept of “efficiency ” in DEA is, under certain conditions, equivalent to that of
