Abstract
Soil indicators may be used for assessing both land suitability for restoration and the effectiveness of restoration
strategies in restoring ecosystem functioning and services. In this review paper, several soil indicators, which can
be used to assess the effectiveness of restoration strategies in dryland ecosystems at different spatial and temporal
scales, are discussed. The selected indicators represent the different viewpoints of pedology, ecology, hydrology,
and land management.
