Abstract

Soil physiochemical properties provide basics assessing soil quality for various/different land uses which is fundamental step towards sustainable agricultural and land management. This research aimed at analysing of soil physiochemical properties on different land use in Mubi North Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria. The research was conducted during the rainy season (May to July 2020) with the ob¬jective of evaluating the effects of three-land use practice on soil physiochemical properties. Three major land use types: natural forest, grazing and cultivated lands were selected while a total of 15 soil samples were randomly collected from 0-20cm depth. All land use types were subjected to laboratory analysis and statistical tools such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used for hypothesis testing. The results reveal that, Soil pH values ranged from (6.10–6.44), moisture content ranged from (19.86-21.52 %), bulk density ranged from (1.58-1.70 gcm-3), and porosity range from (35.77-40%). The soils are deficient in nitrogen (0.24-0.24 %), potassium (0.24-0.66 Cmol/kg), calcium (2.84-3.10 Cmol/kg), organic carbon ranged from (0.45-1.46 %), magnesium (2.40-2.76 Cmol/kg) and low cation exchange capacity (6.71-7.43 Cmol/kg) due to low levels of organic matter (0.78-2.47 %,). Sand and clay particles, bulk density, silt, pH, total nitrogen, available magnesium, calcium, cation exchange capacity and exchangeable iron were significantly affected (p
