“…Such affects were also reported by previous workers (Bijalwan et al, 2010;Thakur, 2014;Behera et al 2017). Both standing litter and litter crop were higher under Mixed Sal Forest, which were lower under Teak forest resulted in low nutrient status in soil (Darro and Swamy, 2020). Different vegetation components contain different amounts of nutrients and accordingly build up the soil organic matter.…”

The present study was conducted to assess the variations in physico-chemical properties of soils under four forest types viz. Mixed Forest, Mixed Sal Forest, Mixed Teak Forest, and Teak Mixed Forests in a typical dry tropical ecosystem of Achanakmar-Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve (AABR), Central India. Soil samples were collected from four types of forest and analyzed for the soil samples were taken at three soil depths, i.e. at 0-20 cm, 20-40cm and 40-60 cm and analysed for pH, EC, Organic C, soil moisture, bulk density, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). The pH of soil was lower (5.43) under Mixed Forest and higher (6.13) in Teak Mixed Forest, while EC in soil was lower (0.04 dS m-1) in Mixed Sal Forest and higher (0.32 dS m-1) under Teak Mixed Forest. Organic C varied from 11.5 Mg ha-1 to 17.8 Mg ha-1 at 0-20 cm soil depth which was highest in soil under Mixed Sal Forest and lowest in Teak Mixed Forest. The Organic C and EC values were decreased with an increase in soil depth, while the bulk density showed reverse trend. Soil nutrients in different depths varied between 160.2 -196.9 kg ha-1, 10.4-17.7 kg ha-1 and 266.4-439.1 kg ha-1 for N, P and K, respectively. The nutrient quantities in soil were higher in Mixed Sal Forest and lower under Teak Mixed Forest, which decreased with soil depth. The paper discusses the possible variations in soil properties in relation to structure and composition of forest type and suggests appropriate management practices for the sustainable development of forest soils in dry tropical ecosystem.

“…The soil macrofauna samples were then transferred to another bottle filled with 70% alcohol solution. The standing litter was collected within a 20 x 5 m plot by laying three 0.5 x 0.5 m subplots on the soil surface [9]. The trap and subplot were conducted on each type of cropping pattern.…”

Soil macrofauna plays an important role in the soil ecosystem. Through various biological activities, macrofauna provides various ecosystem services such as the provision and regulation of nutrients and carbon through litter decomposition, increasing water holding capacity, and improving soil structure. The diversity of soil macrofauna is strongly influenced by the litter produced. The more diverse types of plants, the more diverse macrofauna will be found. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between macrofauna and soil organic carbon in various cropping patterns of sacha inchi in Sragen, Central Java. The research was conducted on teak-sacha inchi, teak monoculture, mixed agroforestry, and sacha inchi monoculture. Based on the results, there were a total of 6 orders of macrofauna in four types of cropping patterns. The highest total number of individuals was found in the sacha inchi monoculture. The macrofauna diversity index was found the highest in teak-sacha inchi with a Shannon-Wiener index of 1.207, and the lowest in the sacha inchi monoculture with a Shannon-Wiener index of 0.76. Based on the correlation analysis, it is known that soil organic carbon content has a negative correlation with the number of macrofauna and a positive correlation with macrofauna diversity.
