Overview

Evaluation of soil properties in different land uses reveals negative impacts of cultivation on soil quality.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effects of different land uses on soil properties in the Fasha District.
  • Collected nine soil samples from three land uses: cultivated, grazing, and forest.
  • Samples were taken at a depth of 0-150 cm using an auger.
  • Analyses were performed using standard laboratory procedures and statistical software.
  • Cultivated soils showed lower pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, and micro-nutrient levels compared to grazing and forest soils.
  • Bulk density and available phosphorus were significantly higher in cultivated soils.
  • Overall, cultivated soils were poorer in quality than uncultivated soils.
