An assessment of pasture soils quality based on multi-indicator weighting approaches in semi-arid ecosystem

The development of soil quality index in the vicinity of the Van Lake pasture lands located in the Northern East Part of Turkey under semi-arid terrestrial ecosystem is very important since there are certain degradation signs indicating how their sustainability is being threatened. A total of 150 so...

description The development of soil quality index in the vicinity of the Van Lake pasture lands located in the Northern East Part of Turkey under semi-arid terrestrial ecosystem is very important since there are certain degradation signs indicating how their sustainability is being threatened. A total of 150 soils in the pastures throughout the region were sampled and several soil physical, chemical and biological indicators were quantified. A minimum data set of the most sensitive indicators was chosen using principal component analyses. Linear scoring functions for these indicators were used to develop soil quality index integrated with remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS).
