Soil properties under different land

Plant roots, soil and microbial interactions result in alteration of soil physical and chemical properties that in turn affect the micro-biological properties in the rhizosphere region. The growth and productivity of plant depends upon the diversity and composition of soil microflora present near rhizosphere zone. The aim of this study is to review the effect of organic, inorganic and integrated use of nutrients on soil properties under different land use systems in rhizospheric region.

The experiment was carried out at, Faculty of Agriculture, Wadura-Sopore, SKUAST-K during 2017-2018, to study “Soil Physico-chemical properties in some soils of district Baramulla under different Land use systems”. The land use systems studied included apple, paddy, maize, vegetables, forest and pasture. Composite soil samples were collected randomly for each land use system at a depth (0-20 cm) and were analyzed for soil texture, pH, EC, CEC, organic carbon and calcium carbonate. The soils were found to possess medium to moderately fine texture.

Fifteen soil profile samples representing the highlands of Purulia, Birbhum, Bardhaman, Bankura and Medinipur districts in red and lateritic zone of West Bengal were collected from 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm depth under rice-vegetable, rice-mustard and rice-fallow cropping systems with a view to assess the predictability of saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soils as influenced by different physical, hydro-physical and chemical properties of the farmlands.

Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs that people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce change. It affects soil properties, overall soil health and the distribution supply of soil nutrients by directly altering biological transformations in the rooting zone. The present study “Assessment of soil microbial status under different land use systems in North western zone of Kashmir” was carried out to ascertain the biological properties of soils under five land use systems, viz.

Understanding ecological diversity and physicochemical properties of the soil is of core concern for better management of roadside plantation, especially in developing countries. Soil properties and carbon stocking are largely influenced by the landuse and spatial distribution. This study compares two different landuse, i.e.

Geo-referenced composite soil samples were collected from twelve different land use systems (LUS) of the Karimganj district of Assam. The results revealed a wide textural variation ranging from silt loam to clayey in the studied soils. Bulk density was significantly higher (1.48 Mg m-3 ) in uncultivated LUS and lowest (1.20 Mg m-3 ) recorded in forest. Porosity of soils ranged from 39.9% to 52.1%. pH of the soils was found to be very strongly to moderately acidic (4.81-5.78) where tea soils was recorded for significantly lowest value of pH (4.81).

The main objective of this study was to assess the physical properties of the soil under different cropping systems within the same locality and interpret the results with reference to organic matter accumulation in soil with twenty year old cultivated crops. The soil samples were collected from different depths at 0- 15 cm, 15-30cm, 30-50cm and 50- 100cm from a cashew, mango, rose, vegetable and medicinal and aromatic cropping systems and analysed for bulk density, water holding capacity and percentage of pore space.

SOC plays key role in mitigating global climate change and improves land productivity through improved soil properties such as nutrient supply and moisture retention. Studying carbon pools under existing land uses provides baseline data to project C sequestration over time. The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the SOC stock in two dominant soil series under different land uses of North-Eastern Agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu. Land uses selected for the study were Forests, Agriculture, Agro-forestry and Plantations.

The present investigation was carried out for evaluation of the status of DTPA-Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn in relation with chemical properties in soils of Solapur district for this purpose representative soil samples were collected from different villages of Solapur district. The micronutrient and some important soil physico-chemical properties were investigated by using GPS and GIS techniques. Considering the critical limits of soil micronutrients, all soil associations were not adequately supplied with DTPA extractable micronutrients.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) content is key component of the global carbon (C) cycle which is highly variable with respect to space and time. The main objective of this study was to provide an assessment of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock variability for Uttarakhand state. The other objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of different pedotransfer functions for reliable assessment of bulk density. Soil Resource Mapping for Uttarakhand state was conducted on 1:50,000 scale with the help of Satellite imagery (LISS III) along with exhaustive ground truthing through soil surveys.
