Abstract/Description: | Soil salinity and sodicity are serious issues worldwide; amelioration through plantation forestry is a low-cost and effective technique to overcome these abiotic stresses. Increase in soil organic carbon (SOC), soil carbon stock, microbial biomass carbon (MB-C) and permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC) were considered as indicators for soil amelioration. The objective of the study was to determine the changes in different soil depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60, 60-75, 75-90 and 90-105 cm) and tree canopy cover (mid-canopy, canopy edge and canopy gap) in a 6-year old Eucalyptus tereticornis plantation on sodic soils. SOC, MB-C, POXC and soil carbon stock were significantly influenced by soil depth and tree canopy cover. MB-C under mid canopy and canopy edge was statistically similar, whereas, canopy gap had maximum MB-C. POXC was highest under canopy edge followed by canopy gap and lowest in mid canopy. SOC as well as C stock was recorded highest under canopy edge which was significantly higher to mid canopy and canopy gap. The results indicated that Eucalyptus based plantation forestry has significant impact on soil carbon sequestration and reclamation of sodic soils, which ultimately enhanced the productivity of the land use system. |
