Soil-Landscape Relationship in the Northern Volcanic Mountain of Leyte, Philippines

Abstract: Studies on soil-landscape relationships are necessary to improve our understanding of the spatial distribution and variation of soils for their sustainable management. This study evaluated the relationship between soil properties and landscape position in the northern volcanic mountain of Leyte, Philippines. Five soil profiles located on summit, shoulder, backslope and footslope positions were evaluated. Findings revealed that the degree of soil development as well as the soil morphophysical and chemical prope… Show more

“…The town has no dry season for January-December, yet the months of June until December are the wet season. The entire province has an annual mean precipitation of 1700 mm and an average yearly temperature of 27˚C [16]. The optimal pH or acidity level requirement for cultivating rubber farming should be in the range of soil pH 4 -6.5 [16] [17] [18].…”

The optimal pH or acidity level requirement for cultivating rubber farming should be in the range of soil pH 4 -6.5 [16] [17] [18]. Similarly, most of the soils in the province have an acidic pH value of <6.75 [19] [20] [21] [22].…”

“…Alluvial volcanic ash-derived soils are commonly used in the tropics to produce high nutrientdemanding fruit crops such as banana, pineapple, and papaya (Arias et al, 2010;Ndayiragije and Delvaux, 2004;Rallos et al, 2017). Consequently, these volcanic soils typically receive high rates of N-P-K fertilizer additions that, under specific conditions, could contaminate groundwater sources and, by multi-component nutrient interactions, could produce nutrient imbalance.…”
