Studies on the Role of Essential Nutrient Dynamics under Different Stands of Shorea robusta in Tropical Forest Ecosystem in Bilaspur (C.G.)
Mary Ekka, Rashmi Agarwal
Abstract: Changes in the soil nutrient changes the productivity of the forest. The nutrient status of soil is very important for the maintaining the productivity of the forest and also the forest management practices. Therefore, a study was conducted to estimate the nutrient status of soil under Sal forest in Bilaspur forest division Chhattisgarh, India. The mean values of organic carbon, moisture content and other nutrient content in soil including soil fertility status were recorded relatively higher in undisturbed stands of Sal as compared to disturbed areas. The result showed that all the soil properties in undisturbed and disturbed stands of Sal were significantly different.
Keywords: soil properties, nutrient status, Shorea robusta, undisturbed and disturbed forest stand
