5. Conclusion
Based on the analysis the following conclusions were drawn: (i) LUC from
FL to other LU (BL/CL/GL/HL/PL) have negative effect on SOC, (ii) SCS
decreased minimum by 2% in GL, 42% in CL and maximum by 48% in PL,
(iii) In general, LUC increased SOC and SCS difference on increasing
soil depth, (iv) Organics addition alongwith chemical fertilizers
increased crop productivity and SOC could be one the viable options in
LUM for soil health and food security, and (v) A negative correlation
between SOC and BD while positive correlation between SOC and CEC was
recorded in different LU.
