Effects of Land Uses on Physicochemical Properties of Soil in Kano Metropolis, Northern Nigeria
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: According to Wang et al. [9] climate and geological history are importance factors to affecting soil properties on regional and continental scales.However, land use may be the dominant factors of soil properties under small catchment scale.Land use and soil management practices influence the soil nutrients and related soil processes, such as erosion, oxidation, mineralization, and leaching, etc [10,11].As a result, it can modify the processes of transport and re-distribution of nutrients.In non-cultivated land, the type of vegetative cover is a factor influencing the soil organic carbon content [11].Moreover, soils
