3.4 Correlation of SOC with soil properties in different land uses
SOC was found significantly correlated with soil properties like BD, pH and CEC in most of the LU at p<0.001. The negative correlation was observed between SOC and BD (Figure 6) whereas positive correlation was recorded between SOC and CEC (Figure 7 and 8). While for soil pH, some of the LU was positively correlated (HL & PL) and some of the LU are negatively correlated (BL, CL, FL & GL). There was no significant correlation was recorded in other soil properties studied in the papers collected from different sources.
