“…The dataset of indicators may be constructed according to expert opinion (Andrews et al, 2002;Sánchez-Navarro et al, 2015), based on how often the parameters appear in scientific papers (Rousseau et al, 2012), or it may be guided solely on statistical criteria. Certainly, it can also consist of the combination of both strategies (Lima et al, 2013).…”

“…Maintaining soil quality at a desired level is complicated because of the complex interactions between soil, climate, vegetation, and management. This fact stimulates studies aimed at generating and validating models, in order to facilitate monitoring the impacts of land use and management according to their SQIs, which enables the early detection of changes of soil quality (Sánchez-Navarro et al, 2015).…”

-The objective of this work was to assess soil quality indicators obtained with different datasets to compare soil management systems in the Brazilian Cerrado. Three criteria were used to select soil physical, chemical, and biological indicators: the full set of indicators obtained, with 36 parameters, for which all the physical, chemical, and biological soil properties were determined; a subset of indicators selected by principal component analysis (20 parameters); and a subset of indicators with some frequency of use in the literature (16 parameters). These indicators were obtained from the following management systems: no-tillage, conventional tillage, and native cerrado vegetation. Soil samples were collected at 0.0-0.1-m soil depth, and soil quality indicators were subjected to analysis of variance and their means were compared. The incorporation of soil native cerrado into agriculture decreased soil quality. The most commonly used indicators in the scientific literature are sensitive enough to detect differences in soil quality according to land use. Therefore, the selection of a minimum set of representative data can be more useful than a complex set of properties to compare management systems as to their soil quality.Index terms: no-tillage, principal component analysis, soil functioning, soil health, soil management, soil security. Seleção de indicadores da qualidade do solo para diferentes sistemas de manejo do solo no CerradoResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar indicadores da qualidade do solo, obtidos de diferentes bases de dados, para comparar sistemas de manejo do solo no Cerrado. Três critérios foram utilizados para a seleção de indicadores físicos, químicos e biológicos do solo: o conjunto completo de indicadores obtido, com 36 parâmetros, entre os quais todas as propriedades físicas, químicas e biológicas foram determinadas; um subconjunto de indicadores selecionados por análise de componentes principais (20 parâmetros); e um subconjunto de indicadores com alguma frequência de uso na literatura (16 parâmetros). Esses indicadores foram obtidos a partir dos seguintes sistemas de manejo: plantio direto, preparo convencional e cerrado nativo. As amostras de solo foram coletadas a 0,0-0,1 m de profundidade, e os indicadores de qualidade do solo foram submetidos à análise de variância e suas médias foram comparadas. A incorporação do solo de cerrado nativo à agricultura diminuiu a qualidade do solo. Os indicadores mais comumente utilizados na literatura científica são suficientemente sensíveis para detectar diferenças de qualidade do solo de acordo com o uso da terra. Portanto, a seleção de um conjunto mínimo de dados representativos pode ser mais útil do que um conjunto complexo de atributos, para comparar sistemas de manejo quanto à qualidade do solo.Termos para indexação: plantio direto, análise de componentes principais, funcionamento do solo, saúde do solo, manejo do solo, segurança do solo.

“…Most of these selected properties are also used as quality criteria in the CASH and SMAF. Several other researchers reported that lime, Ca, TN, and NO 3 -N that are not used in these assessment systems could be used as quality indicators (Baridón and Casas, 2014;Benintende et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2014;Mojiri et al, 2011;Sánchez-Navarro et al, 2015;Shirani et al, 2015;Viana et al, 2014;Zdruli et al, 2014).…”

“…A wide range of soil chemical, physical and biological properties could be measured ZORNOZA et al, 2015), but due to cost it's not feasible to consider them all, and therefore it is necessary to select a minimum dataset (MDS). Several strategies have been used to define an appropriate MDS including principal component analysis (PCA) (LIMA; HOOGMOED; BRUSSAARD, 2008;ARMENISE et al, 2013;CHEN et al, 2013;LAL, 2014;SÁNCHEZ-NAVARRO et al, 2015), fuzzy sets (QI et al, 2009;XIA et al, 2015), expert opinion (ANDREWS; KARLEN; MITCHELL, 2002; and farmer/local knowledge (LIMA; HOOGMOED; BRUSSAARD, 2011;TESFAHUNEGN;TAMENE;VLEK, 2011). According Doran and Parkin (1994) suitable SQ indicators should correlate well with ecosystem processes, integrate soil properties and processes, be accessible to many users, sensitive to management and climate, and, whenever possible, be components of existing databases.…”
