Several soil physicochemical properties varied significantly among land uses. Arsenic and cadmium content increased initially and then decreased before they gradually reached a stable level. 17th WCSS, Lindsay WL (1979) Chemical equilibria in soils. Here are some of the physical properties of soil: Soil Texture The texture of soil is based on the size distribution of the constituent particles. It is so because of the fact that the relative percentage of sand, silt and clay differ from soil to soil. Poster presentation, paper no. This study assessed some physicochemical properties and heavy metal contamination of four major dumpsites in Nsukka metropolis. Figure 1: Some physicochemical properties of Soil pH had discovered to range between 5.8 and 8.51, moisture content values recorded to vary from 0.12% to 9.09%, and soil organic carbon recorded to fluctuate between 0.08% and 1.54%. $.'

Soil Sci Soc Am J 70:72–77, Zende GK (1995) Sugar industry by-products and crop residues in increasing soil fertility and crop productivity. The biological factors of soil are soil flora and fauna. In simple terms, the relative percentage of clay, sand, and silt in a soil mass determines its texture. 4. In fact, soil texture is a complex fraction, consisting of three mineral particles, such as sand, silt, and clay. The soil in this area was predominantly sandy.

These particles vary by size and make up the fine mineral fraction. 17th WCSS. 766. Adsorption studies were conducted in three soils having varied physicochemical properties. For example, Lal (2004) wrote a review about soil Carbon sequestration to mitigate the climate change, Suuster et al. Jisheng Xu. Furthermore, the soil texture determines the water retention capacity of a soil sample. Special focus was given to the mechanisms by which CGFS changes the physicochemical properties of soil. Studying soil and its properties helps to prevent problems like erosion, degradation and pollution, helps to determine soil quality and also gives references for further studies.
