Tis current result is in line with the fndings of Cao et al [94] and Dhaliwal et al [95], who reported that SOC and TN were positively correlated. Tere was other evidence by Bekele et al [96], who reported a positive and signifcant association between TN and soil organic matter with r � 0.89 at P � 0.001.…”

Recently, the beauty of the environment, native forest plants, and crops were encroached with invasive weeds, and thus scientific community was concerned with searching for optional management of these horrible weeds. Accordingly, vermicomposting of invasive weeds with the purpose of utilization management was evaluated as an alternative option and cost-effective management. Utilization management included keeping the environment safe from expanding invasive weeds by using these weeds as vermicomposting materials. Consequently, vermicompost was produced from L. camara invasive weed and this produced vermicompost was interactively used with chemical fertilizer to appraise its effect on soil chemical properties after the tef crop was harvested. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in a factorial combination with three replications. Four levels of L. camara vermicompost amendment (0, 2, 4, and 6 t·ha−1) and four levels of NPS fertilizer (0, 100, 150, and 200 kg·ha−1) were used in the combination of the treatments. Disturbed composite soil sampling at a depth of 20 cm was carried out, one sample before planting and 48 samples after harvesting of the tef crop. The results showed that the combined addition of vermicompost and NPS fertilizers at the rate of 6 t·ha−1 and 200 kg·ha−1, respectively, significantly increased plant-available phosphorus (Av. P). Reversely, the pH of the soil remained unchanged when the soil was treated with the integration of vermicompost and NPS fertilizer or at their separate individual application. Most of the soil chemical properties, i.e. soil organic carbon (SOC), electrical conductivity (EC), Av. P, total nitrogen (TN), carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C : N), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were found to be improved when the soil was amended with the highest dose of sole L. camara vermicompost fertilizer. The two-year consecutive organic fertilizer fertilization rate increased SOC from 63.64% to 107.56%, EC from 8.70% to 22.22%, Av. P from 40.87% to 143.13%, TN from 50% to 100%, C : N ratio from 8.14% to 11.58%, and CEC from 42.11% to 63.67% versus untreated plot. Single-application NPS chemical fertilizer has only an encouraging effect on Av. P and CEC of soil. The principal driving factor for any change in soil chemical properties was the L. camara vermicompost amendment. Therefore, using L. camara weed as a vermicompost can enhance soil fertility. This study offers the opportunity to convert the large biomass of L. camara weed into vermicompost through vermicomposting.

“…This might be associated higher pH under cultivated land and lower in forest land. In consistent with this Mengistu and Dereje (2021) and Salwinder et al (2023) reported that relative maximum and minimum soil Fe and Mn was recorded in cultivated and forest land respectively. The comparatively highest Zn (4.7 mg kg -1 ) and Cu (4.1 mg kg -1 ) were recorded under forest land while the lowest Zn (0.84 mg kg -1 ) and (2.9 mg kg -1 ) were recorded under cultivated land, respectively (Table 5).…”

A study was conducted to evaluate the spatial variability of soil fertility under different land use types, in Assosa District, western Ethiopia. Three different land use types, namely; cultivated, grazing, and forestland considered for this study. Surface soil samples (0-20 cm depth) were collected from three kebeles (Amba 8, Abirhamo, and Amba 12) which are considered representative of the study sites. Total of 54 soil samples in triplicates (27 disturbed and 27 undisturbed) were collected from the three land use types. The obtained results indicated that the moisture contents of soil reduced from 17.89 to 14.58%, pH from 5.72 to 5.3. 1In addition, the same trend was observed for organic carbon that decreased from 3.52% to 1.42%, total nitrogen from 0.35% to 0.16%, available phosphorus from 5.16 to 3.36 mg kg -1 , extractable sulfur from 5.33 to 3.89 mg kg -1 , extractable zinc from 4.7 to 0.84 mg kg -1 , boron from 1.7 to 0.27 mg kg -1 . In contrast, there were increasing in soil bulk density from 1.15 to 1.25 g cm -3 , exchangeable acidity from 0.63 to 2.07 cmol+ kg -1 , exchangeable Al from 0.13 to 1.44 cmol+kg -1 . It was concluded that land use change has a significant effect on soil quality and crop productivity in the Assosa district. The conversion of forest land to cultivated and grazing; increases soil acidity, exchangeable acidity, and exchangeable Al and decreasing the amount and availability of Phosphorus, nitrogen, organic carbon, and deficiency problems of some micronutrient (B and Zn). As a result, soil fertility and crop productivity might decline. Therefore, attention should be given to correct soil nutrient status and site-specific management should be taken on cultivated lands by the concerned bodies and the farmers in the study area.

“…The soil DTPA-Fe and Mn content was found to be higher in forest plantations, followed by natural forest and coffee plantations. The increased concentration could be related to increased litter recycling and chelation processes in forest soils (Dhaliwal, et al 2023:). Coffee soils contained higher levels of -1…”

“…Second, increased intensity of OM in forest soils developed through higher litterfall and root biomass that elevated the aeration status of soils, prevent oxidation and precipitation of micro-nutrients in bound forms along with supplementation of chelating agents that enhanced solubility and availability of micronutrients in soils. (Dhaliwal, et al 2023). Lindsay and Norwell (1978) found that soil reactivity and organic matter concentration were the two most critical factors controlling micronutrient availability.…”

“…The increased rates of agricultural and tillage practices that lead to a faster rate of OM decomposition, loss of soil nutrients, and increased nutritional demands with lower use ef iciencies by plants may be associated with a lower content of DTPAextractable micronutrients under agricultural LUSs (Dhaliwal, et al 2023). The decreased input of organic carbon to soils and the ongoing removal of nutrients through nutrient agglomeration by crops in cultivated soils may also be responsible for the decline in micronutrients observed with the conversion of natural forest to agricultural land.…”

Globally, efforts are being made to identify land use types that could potentially improve carbon sequestration and soil fertility to ensure sustainable agriculture. Secondary nutrients and micronutrients in soil are crucial for improved crop output and require a detailed understanding of their status and sources of variation. Therefore, in order to evaluate the changes in soil chemical properties of soils, an experiment was conducted in Biligirirangana hills with soil samples from three soil depths i.e. 0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm of six prominent land-use systems viz. natural forest, a forest plantation, pure coffee system, coffee multi-storeyed system, agriculture mono, and mixed cropping systems. Among different land use systems (LUSs), signi icantly higher mean soil organic carbon and available nitrogen -1 content were recorded in surface soils of natural forest (37.09 g kg ) and pure coffee system -1 (414.99 kg ha ), respectively. The cation exchange capacity and percent base saturation were -1 signi icantly higher in natural forest (28.22 cmol (p+) kg soil and 76.56 % respectively) and -1 lower in agriculture mono-cropping (13.83 cmol (p+) kg soil and 39.50 %, respectively). The exchangeable calcium, magnesium, available sulfur and DTPA extractable micronutrients were higher in natural forest and tree-based LUSss compare to agriculture LUSss. The correlation analysis revealed that soil SOC had a positive effect on the availability of available secondary and DTPA extractable micronutrients in soils.
