Short summary
This study evaluated soil health in an area under no-tillage with terraces, using four approaches to develop the indices: principal component analysis, expert opinion, the soil fertility and biology approach based on the Soil Bioanalysis framework, and Soil Management Assessment Framework. The results showed that the expert opinion and soil fertility and biology approaches were more sensitive to identify differences in soil health, and crop productivity was associated with soil health.
