Soil Quality Indexing Strategies for Evaluating Sugarcane Expansion in Brazil by Maurício R. Cherubin (2552743)

“…Assessments of soil quality (SQ) response to this LUC are essential for quantifying and monitoring sustainability of sugarcane production over time. Since there is not a universal methodology for assessing SQ, we conducted a field-study at three sites within the largest sugarcane-producing region of Brazil to develop a SQ index (SQI). …”
