[EN] This paper presents a soil evaluation system, specifically adapted to the Mediterranean environmental characteristics. The pedologic resource is studied from a holistic point of view, and several stages are distinguished in the evaluation process. Firstly, a set of intrinsic and extrinsic soil characteristics is selected and ranked. Secondly, parameters are assessed and grouped into two Indexes, namely Capability and Vulnerability, which are the corner stone of this methodology. The Capability Index refers to the intrinsic vocation of both soil and its physical surroundings, and it determines land capability for farming use. The Vulnerability Index shows the potential limitations on land use due to human action. The effects of these limitations are, either the deterioration of the pedologic system functions or the modification of its properties.
[ES] En este artículo se presenta un sistema de evaluación de suelos elaborado en función de las características medioambientales mediterráneas. El estudio del recurso edáfico se aborda desde una concepción holística, diferenciándose varias fases en el proceso evaluador. La primera es la selección y gradación de un conjunto de características intrínsecas y extrínsecas del suelo. La segunda es la agrupación y valoración de los parámetros en dos Indicadores: Capacidad y Vulnerabilidad, piedra angular de la metodología. El Indicador de Capacidad refleja la vocación intrínseca del suelo y del entorno físico que favorecerá o restringirá el uso agrario. El Indicador de Vulnerabilidad muestra las limitaciones potenciales, provocadas por la actividad antrópica, que pueden deteriorar las funciones del sistema edáfico o modificar sus propiedades.
