“…The soil bulk density of Mandabam (Mdm) soil series ranged from 1.27 to 1.31 Mg m -3 . The highest bulk density was due to its coarse textured nature with high silicon di oxide with very rapid permeability [26]. The compaction was observed in the subsurface layers of C2 and C3 horizons and might be due to the usage of heavy machineries and predicted in the Figure…”

Detailed soil survey (DSS) was carried out in drought prone district of Ramanathapuram during April 2023 to find out the weathering pattern of the soil. Totally 4 soil profiles was excavated from Mandabam, Pudukudi, Paramakudi and Muthukulathur areas and studied for soil morphological characteristics. Soil samples was collected in each horizon and analysed for soil physical characteristics, chemical constituents and weathering indices by using the standard procedures. The results showed that soil colour were ranged from dark yellowish brown to dark grey with single grain to angular to sub-angular blocky structure. Soil consistency ranged from loose, hard to very hard, firm to very firm, sticky to very sticky, plastic to very plastic in dry and moist condition. The bulk density, hydraulic conductivity, infiltration rate ranged from 1.19 to 1.31 Mg m-3, 0.01 to 8 cm hr-1 and 0.02 to 8 cm/hr. The variations in molar ratios and weathering intensity were seen in all the profiles. The weathering pattern of the soils from different areas of the coastal district was identified.

“…The maximum P concentration was recorded in T. arjuna and the minimum in the case of S. cumini. The semi-arid environmental conditions and use of fertilizers may lead to the buildup of the P in soil and may result in high P concentration in the soil (Satish et al 2018a;Sashikala et al 2021), but the regular disturbance of soil from human activities and transportation of soil from one place to another may reduce soil P content. The medium P content in some samples may also be attributed to the decomposition of SOM that releases organically bound P (Kumar et al, 2021).…”

Soil is vital to food security and ecosystem nutrient recycling. Rapid infrastructure development projects requiring mineral resource extraction have led to an overall decrease in soil quality. Due to a higher environmental footprint, cities' soil quality has declined quickly, which requires continuous monitoring and evaluation. Educational institutions are traditionally not taken into account for such monitoring. Thus, the present study investigated the soil health status under 10 different plantations in Maharshi Dayanand University located in Rohtak city. Using different digital and volumetric methods, 20 physicochemical parameters and nutrients viz. sand, silt, clay, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), macronutrients and micronutrients. Sampling was performed at four depths (0-10, 10.1-20, 20.1-30 and 30.1-40 cm) to collect 40 samples. Repeated measures of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pairwise comparison were used to detect significant differences. Different tree plantations affected soil parameters significantly (p<0.05). The soil nutrient index value (SNIV) classified sand (3), pH (2.62), Ca2+ (2.82), Cu (2.60) and Fe (2.65) in the high fertility class. Network analysis demonstrated an effect of physicochemical parameters on OM and nutrients. The structural stability index (SSI) appropriated 50 % of the samples as thoroughly degraded (SSI<5 %). Principal component analysis (PCA) produced five significant components and designated N, P, Cu and OM as the most critical soil chemistry variables. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) produced 3 clusters for tree species with similar soil properties. Overall, the campus's soil is alkaline, non-saline and nutrient deficient, and surface layers are more fertile. The soil under F. virens is the most productive. The results obtained and customized solutions provided in this article may help to improve soil health on the campus ans aid in sustainable soil use, conservation and management. This may also motivate other campuses around the globe to assess their soil health status.
