Spatial variability of the physical quality of soil from management zones

The uniform management of soil, without considering the local soil spatial variability of its properties, may accelerate its degradation process. The objectives of this study were to: (i) delineate homogeneous management zones (HMZs) using the multivariate analysis approach, and (ii) evaluate the effect of uniform soil management on the physical–hydraulic attributes of these HMZ. The study was carried out in two fields: field 1 (F1) of 312 ha...
