“…No appreciable changes with respect to the effluent flux nature were observed: the mean CEC values in the suburban, urban, and industrial areas were 10.6 ± 0.9, 10.3 ± 1.3, and 10.2 ± 1.2 cmol kg −1 , respectively. Similar findings were reported by other research groups (Narsaiah et al, 2018;Sekhar et al, 2017).…”

Soil quality in urban areas in India is degraded due to multiple anthropogenic activities. The objectives of this work are to determine the concentration variations, toxicity, and sources of carbons, metals, and ions in the surface soil of Raipur, the industrialized capital city of Chhattisgarh state, India. High concentrations of Al, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, and elemental carbon (EC) were registered. Relatively lower concentrations of V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Ba, Pb, organic carbon (OC), and carbonate carbon (CC), as well as ions (viz. F–, Cl–, NO3–, SO42–, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+), were also recorded. EC was found to be one of the major pollutants, although enrichment factors pointed to high contamination with SO42–, K+, Mg2+, Cr, Mn, and Pb; and extreme contamination with NO3– and Ca2+. The spatial and temporal variations, enrichment factors, toxicity, and sources of the chemical species detected in the soil are discussed.

“…This might be due to high clay content in the lower horizon compared to the upper horizon, which led to impeded leaching, consequently, accumulation of calcium and magnesium in the lower horizon. Similar results were reported by Narsaiah et al (2018) and Basumatary et al (2021). It was clear that Mg 2+ was present in lower amount than Ca 2+ because of the higher mobility of the former ion.…”

Available macronutrient status in the soil of Chotanahalli micro-watershed (468 ha) in Kunigal Taluk, Tumkur district was studied with the aid of GIS. Forty three surface soil samples at 320 m grid were collected from Chotanahalli micro-watershed and assessed for the soil organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Results revealed that the ranges of SOC, available N, P and K were 2.1 to 7.5 g kg-1, 282.2 to 526.8 kg N ha-1, 8.0 to 67.6 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 124.3 to 338.5 kg K2O ha-1, respectively. Spatial interpolation revealed that majority (321 ha) of the watershed was low in SOC, whereas the whole watershed was medium in available N, P and K. In case of secondary nutrients, available S was found to be medium in majority (423.4 ha) of the area, whereas, exchangeable Ca and Mg were found sufficient in the whole watershed. The Nutrient Index values indicated that the micro-watershed was under “medium” category for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, whereas, it fell under “low” category with respect to organic carbon. Measures to improve the status of SOC should be taken up in the study area for sustainable production of crop.

“…However the soil depth of the pedon located in basin had more depth (102-133 cm) as that of foot slope confirm the deposition of elluviated materials at the basin. The variation in the soil depth is related to the slope and degree of soil erosion (Narsaiah et al, 2018) [11][12] . The soils had clear and smooth boundary in surface layers whereas clear and wavy boundaries between the horizon confirm the erosion and deposition process existing in the study area.…”

“…The stickiness and plasticity increased along the depth of the profile throughout the study area. The surface soils were slightly sticky whereas the soils in the lower horizons were moderately sticky and moderately plastic due to the illuvial movement of clay (Narsaiah et al, 2018) [11][12] . The effervescence was observed in the soils of plain and basin region, which was due to the contribution of the parent material and sedimentation of the carbonates.…”

“…The potassium content was low in the hill slopes and foot plains whereas the soils in plains had more available potassium content due to the continuous application of fertilizers for crop cultivation. The amount and type of clay, organic carbon, soil pH and CEC significantly affects the Kavailability in the soil (Narsaiah et al, 2018) [11][12] . The available micronutrients was decreasing with increasing depth.…”

The soils of Vallanadu were characterized based on morphological, physico-chemical properties for land evaluation and classification. The soils were very shallow to deep, red to yellowish in colour, sandy loam to sandy clay in texture and had sub-angular blocky and angular blocky structures. The sand, silt and clay varied from 46.7 to 82.14%, 2.95 to 33.74% and 8.15 to 44.1% respectively. The soils were moderately acidic to moderately alkaline, non-saline, low to medium in organic carbon. The CEC varied from 4.5 to 16 Cmol (p + )kg -1 and dominated by Ca 2+ >Mg 2+ >K + >Na + . The soils were low, medium, low to medium in available NPK respectively. Among the micronutrients, Fe and Mn were sufficient, Zn & Cu were deficient. The soils were classified as Typic Rhodustalf, Typic Haplustalf and Typic Haplustepts. The soils were evaluated as land capability sub-class of IVs, IVes and land irrigability sub-classes of 2s, 3s and 3st.
