| description | The need to understand and evaluate the quality of soils in agricultural production systems is an issue of increasing importance today because of the determination of impacts from management practices on the sustainability of this resource. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the concept of soil quality and indicators for its evaluation and to present some research on the potential of chemical properties for use as indicators of soil quality. Among the chemical properties that can be considered as indicators are nutrient availability, organic carbon content and labile organic carbon, pH, phosphate binding capacity, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, total nitrogen and mineralizable and organic matter. The importance of multivariate techniques to define chemical properties with a potential as soil quality indicators is highlighted. The greatest concern for the sustainable use of soil resources includes the need to develop approaches and tools that generate diagnoses for the effects of management practices implemented in the systems of agricultural production, that is, to provide information about soil quality in a given context. |

La necesidad de entender y evaluar la calidad de los suelos en sistemas de productivos agrícolas es un tema de creciente importancia en la actualidad, debido al interés sobre la determinación de los impactos de las distintas prácticas de manejo en la sostenibilidad del recurso suelo. El objetivo de esta revisión es brindar un panorama general sobre el concepto de calidad de suelo, indicadores para su evaluación y exponer algunas investigaciones realizadas con respecto al potencial de las propiedades químicas para ser usadas como indicadores de calidad de suelos. Entre las propiedades químicas que pueden considerarse como indicadores se encuentran la disponibilidad de nutrimentos, el contenido de carbono orgánico total y carbono orgánico lábil, el pH, la capacidad de fijación de fosfatos, la conductividad eléctrica, la capacidad de intercambio catiónico, contenido de nitrógeno total y mineralizable, y de materia orgánica. Se resalta la importancia de las técnicas multivariantes para definir aquellas propiedades químicas con potencial para ser indicadores de calidad de suelo. La creciente preocupación sobre el uso sostenible del recurso suelo, genera la necesidad de desarrollar enfoques y herramientas que permitan generar diagnósticos acerca de los efectos que tienen las prácticas de manejo implementadas en los sistemas de producción agrícola, es decir, que brinden información acerca de la calidad del suelo en un determinado contexto.
