Abstract
⺠This study compared soil quality indices based on 3 sets of indicators. ⺠The effects of land management practices on soil functions were evaluated. ⺠Soil quality was best assessed using a set of 29 indicators. ⺠However, fewer-indicators sets (8 and 4) showed the same trends. ⺠Soil quality index approach provides great information for land management decisions.
