The effects of topography, land cover type, and soil physicochemical properties on the
distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) have drawn growing …

Topographic variability is one of the main factors that affect soil properties and crop
production. In this work, we reviewed the concept and significance of various topographic …

Soil pH is a key factor that controls soil nutrient availability, soil microbial activities, and crop
growth and development. However, studies on the soil pH variations of cultivated lands in …

Background Soil microbial biomass, an important nutrient pool for ecosystem nutrient cycling
is affected by several factors including climate, edaphic, and land-use change. Himalayan …

The aspect and slope can control the movement of water and material in a hillslope and
contribute to the spatial differences of soil properties. In a forest ecosystem, soil properties …

Topography is a major factor controlling both hydrological and soil processes at the
landscape scale. This is well-known qualitatively in that topography, along with parent …

A variety of landscape properties have been modelled successfully using topographic
indices such as the topographic wetness index (TWI), defined as ln (a/tanβ), where a is the …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (total N) stocks in 0–0.3 and 0.3–1.0 m soil
layers were estimated following the standard procedures for three vegetation communities; …

Study of soil property variations resulting from topographic aspect and vegetation changes
will have implication on the proper management of marginal and environmentally sensitive …

Topography is recognized as an important factor in controlling plant distribution and diversity
patterns, but its scale dependence and the underlying mechanisms by which it operates are …
