Soil quality indicators to assess functionality of restored soils in degraded semiarid ecosystems

© 2016 Society for Ecological Restoration. A thorough knowledge of soil functionality is critical to successful restoration of disturbed ecosystems, and its evaluation involves the assessment of soil properties and processes as a component of a healthy ecosystem. Here, we propose a set of soil quali...
