Digital Soil Mapping and Soil Quality Index Development for Malawi: Spatial Insights for Sustainable Land Management

This information brief presents the development of digital soil maps and a Soil Quality Index (SQI) for Malawi, based on 1,813 geo-referenced soil samples collected across major agro-ecological zones. Multiple soil physical, chemical, and mineralogical parameters were analyzed and integrated through...
