Integrating soil quality changes to arable agricultural systems following organic matter addition, or adoption of a ley-arable rotation
Bryan S. Griffiths,Bruce C. Ball,Tim J. Daniell,Paul D. Hallett,R. Neilson,Ron E. Wheatley,Graham H. R. Osler,Marko Bohanec,Marko Bohanec +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a wide range of biological, physical and chemical properties associated with changes in soil quality and integrated these using a qualitative multi-attribute model supported by the software tool DEXi to achieve a holistic estimation of soil quality.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.
