Popis:	BACKGROUND: Soil quality assessment is a critical strategy for determining optimum fertilization in intensive pomelo production. In this study, we evaluated the soil quality status and mapped the spatial distribution of 347 soil samples collected from pomelo orchards in Pinghe County, southern China. We analyzed nine chemical parameters and an altitude indicator. RESULTS: The mean soil quality index (SQI) was 0.355 in the total data set (TDS) and 0.292 in the minimum data set (MDS). Available Ca (Avail-Ca), pH value, organic matter, and altitude were selected as indicators of soil quality in the MDS. The SQI in mature orchards (>10 y) was higher than that in young orchards (
