| dc.description | Brazilian soil scientists have increased the use of the term “soil quality” in their
scientific publications in the last decade. However, it remains unclear if those publications
only mention “soil quality” in a broad context, or the studies are focused on soil quality
assessments, integrating soil chemical, physical and biological indicators. The objective
of this systematic review was to carry out a critical analysis of the conception in using the
term “soil quality” in recent publications derived from studies performed in Brazil. For this
purpose, the terms [(“soil health” or “soil quality” or “qualidade do solo”) and (“Brazil*” or
“Brasil*”)] were searched in databases of Web of Science, Scopus, and Scielo from 2014 to
2021. Initially, 1,284 peer-reviewed papers were found, subsequently selected according
to the criteria established in two filters: (i) First filter - studies carried out in Brazil, which
mentioned at least one of the terms of interest (“soil health” or “soil quality” or “qualidade
do solo”) and that evaluated soil biological, physical or chemical indicators, assessing at
least one of them; (ii) Second filter - studies in which all three groups of soil indicators were
assessed and integrated, and presented a specific discussion about soil quality. According
to the results, 36 % of the papers met the first criteria (n = 464), and only 2 % (n = 30)
attended the second filter. The terms “soil health” or “soil quality” or “qualidade do solo”
were mentioned 7 and 37 times per paper for those papers selected in the first and second
filter, respectively. We evidenced in our study that the term soil quality in agricultural science
papers has been predominantly used in a broad context, mostly to refer to the suitable soil
conditions for plant growth. Thus, we concluded that even if the use of soil quality term is
increasing in Brazilian literature, there are still very few researchers working specifically
with soil quality assessments, in its full conception (i.e., integrating chemical, physical and
biological indicators). Therefore, there is a promising research field to be explored to promote
scientific advances in the soil quality area (e.g., new concepts, assessment frameworks,
on-farm monitoring protocols), as well as disseminate the soil quality assessment among
the Brazilian farmers, environmentalists, and other stakeholders. | |
