Soil temperature in an open site and below two plantation forest canopies in a tropical highland area, southern Ethiopia

Original language description

This paper examines soil temperature (Ts) in two different plantation forests relative to an adjacent open land area in a tropical highland environment. To achieve the objectives, Ts in a Juniperus procera (JP) plantation, a Grevillea robusta (GR) plantation, and in the adjacent open land (OL) area were measured. One-way ANOVA and Pearson&apos;s correlation were used for the data analysis. The result indicated that the mean daily Ts in the OL area at 10-cm depth of the soil was greater than the mean daily Ts recorded in the JP and GR plantations by 5 oC and 6 oC, respectively. The OL area Ts recorded at different soil depths (10 cm and 20 cm) was significantly different (p &lt; 0.05). Rainfall (RF) and air temperature (Ta) of the study area have a direct relationship with the Ts in the plantation forests. The RF and Ta do not have a significant relationship with the Ts in the OL area at 10-cm soil depth. Overall, the study indicated that the Ts in the open land area was highly fluctuating monotonically, while it is relatively constant in the plantation forests.
