Soil physical quality varies among contrasting land uses in Northern Prairie regions

•Soil quality indicators differed across cropland, pasture and native grasslands.•Native grasslands had greater soil quality than pastures and annual croplands.•Soil fractal aggregation and S-index were strong indicators of land use impacts.•Medium-size soil porosity was greater under perennial vers...
