- •
The effect of grazing intensity on soil quality index (SQI) was studied.
- •
Spatial statistics techniques were used to study grazing effects.
- •
Effect of grazing density and additional environmental aspect were evaluated.
- •
Vicinity of animals to watering points reduced soil quality.
- •
SQI was best explained by landscape cover and grazing density pattern.
