Each site had 12 soil profiles excavated, six of which were from natural forest areas and six were from deforested areas. The samples were taken at 0-15 cm, 15-50 cm and 50-80 cm depths and repeated thrice. The contents of DTPA-extractable micronutrients in the forested sites were higher than in the deforested sites at all s… Show more
