Soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks as affected by different land use in an Ultisol in Imo Watershed, southern Nigeria

Original language description

Soil organic carbon and soil total nitrogen concentrations and stocks are essential for improving soil quality and increasing C-reservoir. This study aimed at quantifying the dynamics in soil properties under different land uses in Imo watershed where there is no knowledge about the effects of land use on SOC and STN pool. Six land uses: arable land (AL), forest land (FL), grassland (GL), shrubland hills (SL), urban built-up green (UL), and the freshwater swamp and mangrove wetland (WL) were classified using ArcGIS 10,1 and FAO land use classification system. Soil samples were collected and analyzed from each land use under different soil depths and slope positions with three replications. Topsoil layer (0-30cm) contributed to more than 90% of the total soil nutrients. Different land uses significantly affected SOC and STN contents and bulk density. Slope position and soil depth also significantly affected SOC and STN contents. Significantly strong correlations were observed between SOC and STN at b
