Soil quality indicators selection by mixed models and multivariate techniques in deforested areas for agricultural use in NW of Chaco, Argentina by Rojas, Julieta Mariana, Prause, Juan, Sanzano, Gerardo Agustín, Arce, Osvaldo Ernesto Antonio, Sanchez, Maria Cristina

“…Selected indicators were: total organic carbon (TOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), total nitrogen (N), bulk density (Bd), and EF (erodible fraction); high correlation between some of them would allow performing an even tight selection. These indicators varied in performance between studied depths. …”
