Finding the best tactics suited to particular ecological situations requires a comprehensive grasp of thelong-term impacts of watershed management techniques. Tracking trends in changes to soil biogeochemical properties is particularly useful. The purpose of this study was to look into the long-term effects on soil glomalin and associated soil physicochemical parameters of three different watershed management techniques: soil bund (SB), micro-basin (MB), and fanya-juu (FJ). Easily extractable and total glomalin were extracted following standard methods. The study analyzed the impacts of these soil management practices and the correlations between soil glomalin and other soil physicochemical properties. All three soil and water conservation practices resulted in significant changes (p MB > FJ > control sample. This implies that SB is the most effective soil and water conservation practice in semi-humid regions and plateau landscapes.
