The Effect Of Land Use On Soil Aggregate Stability And Soil Carbon Sequestration In Some Selected Soils Of South Eastern Nigeria

 AbstractThe Information on the effect of different land use systems on the aggregate stability and carbon sequestration is crucial for the recommendation of efficient land management practices. This study was conducted to evaluate the variation in aggregate stability and carbon sequestration under different land use systems in two agro ecological zones of south eastern Nigeria. The agro ecological zones were derived savannah and rainforest while the land use systems studied were cultivated, excavated, fallow, forest and grazing. The soil samples were collected at a depth of 0- 15cm …
