Abstract:

Microbial biomass C, N and P are determined in soil at two depth 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm of two distinct sites monthly over a period of 12 months. The selected sites having different topological characteristics. The concentration of C, N and P in soil was found to decrease with increasing depth. The microbial activities were influenced by environmental factors and soil abiotic characteristics. The turnover of Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in soil quite low feasibly because of lower nitrogen and phosphorus level.


Keywords: Land degradation, higher evaporation, ecological indicator
