“…Moradi (2013) also evinced that soil consistence varied with soil texture. Mahapatra et al (2019) reported that soils of Buraka micro-watershed in Haryana were non-sticky to slightly sticky and non-plastic to slightly plastic in consistence. The roots in different pedons varied from very fine to coarse (size) and very few to common (quantity).…”

“…At watershed scale, the topographic position of soils is considered for soil classification which is not only used to address land use management but also soil erosion and formation (Sadiq et al 2021). Watershed management is essential to agricultural practices because it enables the controlled use of water for irrigation as per the crop needs besides supplying water for a variety of other uses (Mahapatra et al 2019). Therefore, the present investigation was attempted to enhance our understanding about the morphology, genetic relationships and classification of soils of micro-watersheds in Chhachhrauli block of Yamunanagar, Haryana for developing better strategies for agricultural production and resource management.…”

Nine pedons representing the typical landforms of micro-watersheds in Chhachhrauli block of Yamunanagar, Haryana were exposed to determine the interrelationships and variability of soil characteristics. The colour of pedons was yellowish brown with dominant hue of 10YR. Soil structure was weak to strong, fine to medium, sub angular blocky across the pedons. The consistency of different pedons varied from non-sticky non-plastic to sticky plastic and soil texture varied from sand to loam with predominance of sand than clay in all the pedons. Bulk density, particle density and available water content across all the pedons varied from 1.01 to 1.75 Mg m , 2.50 to 2.65 Mg m and 1.01 to −3 −3 16.38%, respectively. The pH ranged from 4.20 to 8.30 across all the profiles indicating acidic to alkaline nature of the soils. The soils were low to high in soil organic carbon (SOC). In all soils, SOC varied from 0.06 to 2.54 per cent and was higher in surface horizons than subsurface horizons. The CaCO content in pedons 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 was <1% suggesting nearly complete decalcification in these soils. The exchangeable 3 complex of the soils was dominated by Ca followed by Mg, Na and K. Broadly the physiography and land use considerably influenced the value of total exchangeable bases. Relatively higher content of nutrients was observed in the surface horizons compared to subsurface horizons. The results demonstrated that, in general, varying SOC concentrations are associated with varying slope positions of the pedons, highlighting the significance of landform location in regulating soil water content as well as the SOC concentration. The geomorphic location of each pedon across the watersheds has influenced strongly the movement of solutes and therefore soil development. The soils of the study area were classified as sandy, mixed, hyperthermic, typic Ustipsamments (Pedon 1), fine loamy Ustochrepts (Pedon 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and coarse loamy Ustorthents (Pedon 4).

The pedological characterization of alluvial tract soils of Vaigai river basin, Madurai District, Tamil Nadu was taken during 2019-20. Initially a Reconnaissance Soil Survey was carried out with Toposheet as a base map. Totally nine representative pedons in Northern and Southern bank of the Vaigai river alluvial basin were selected and studied for their morphological characteristics. Along the course of Vaigai river basin, deposition of alluvial soil was evidenced by the poorly developed AC profiles in both side. The depth of the soil varied from d4 to d5 in both banks. The color of the pedons varies with hue ranging from 10YR to 7.5YR, value 2 to 6and chroma 2-8 and in Northern bank ; from 10YR to 7.5YR,values varies by 2.5 to 6 and chroma by 1 to 6 in the Southern bank. The texture of soil varied from weak to structure less. Some yellowish brown mottles with jarosite were foundin the Northern bank and micaceous coatings found in the Southern banks. The calcium carbonate nodules were found in most of the pedons and the permeability of the soil was very rapid. Coconut, Banana and paddy are the major crops grown in this alluvial tract. Climate change, urbanization, is short of monsoon rain and industrialization had created the major impact on the shrinkage of land under cultivation and smash up the soil health. The present study on characteristics of alluvial tract of Vaigai River basin both in Northern and southern banks understood about the change due to anthropogenic activities and climate change scenario.

“…The Bulia micro watershed area is a corn production centre that also supports the agricultural area below. The watershed has a vital role because it supplies irrigation water for agriculture and other activities (Mahapatra et al, 2019). The corn cultivation in this watershed has exceeded the carrying capacity indicated for the corn planting on the slope of >25%, so that the land degradation often occurs.…”

Ten representative pedons from the Bulia micro watershed of Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, were characterized and classified to determine its land quality (LQ) class. Angular blocky, sticky, plastic consistencies and a hard consistency prevailed in the soil structure. In the alluvial plains the soil texture is dominated by the clay fraction, while in the hills and volcanic mountains the sand fraction is dominated. The soils in the Bulia micro watershed also have acid to neutral reaction, with the range of very low to high OC (organic carbon) levels, the reserve of exchangeable bases was dominated by Ca2+ in two series patterns, namely: Ca2+ > Mg+ > Na+ > K+ and Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg+ > K+, cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged from low to very high, and the base saturation varied from moderate to very high. The alluvial plain is represented by Inceptisol in P1 and Typic Humustepts (P7), also by Oxic Humustepts (P3), then Mollisol on P4 (Typic Argiudolls) and Typic Haplustolls (P6), Alfisol on P5 (Typic Paleustalfs). Entisol on P2 (Typic Ustipsamments) was found in volcanic mountains and P9 (Typic Paleustolls) P8 (Ultic Paleustalfs), P10 (Inceptic Haplustalfs) are typical of volcanic hills. On the alluvial plains the land was categorized as the LQ class II, III and IV, the volcanic mountains were the LQ class IV, while the land on the volcanic hills was categorized as the LQ class VI. River bank erosion on the land river terraces can be held by the manufacture of gabions, talud, cliff reinforcement plants and terraces. The soil temperatures and high clay content can be regulated by mulching and organic materials.
