ABSTRACT
The study of soil physico-chemical properties is an important field related to the aspect of climate change and the storage of organic carbon in soil. This field of scientific research aims to identify the impact of land management practices on the physico-chemical parameters of soil composition. This study is based on laboratory analysis and various observations of various soil physicochemical parameters, such as pH-H2O, EC [electrical conductivity]; OM [organic matter]; SOC [% organic carbon]; SOC [SOC t/ha]; and BD [specific gravity g/cm3].
This study helps develop strategies to implement improved land management sustainably.
The soil specific gravity (BD g/cm³) averages 1.38 g/cm³, with low variability (Std. Dev. = 0.03337), the coefficient of variation (CV) is 2.410378%, indicating a low variation about the mean, while the skewness is negative (-0.78464), while the kurtosis is positive (1.766186).
Some of the differences (OM, SOC, SOC t/ha) have a high variability, while others have a lower variability (EC μS/cm, pH [1:2.5], BD g/cm³). This may indicate that some soil characteristics are more stable, while others have a higher degree of variability.
