Soil samples were collected from topsoil and subsoil beneath secondary coastal rainforest and from areas which had undergone forest clearance over periods from less than one year to ยฎve years. Soils are characterized using total element, particle size and mineralogical analyses and fertility studies

## Abstract The study dealt with the assessment of the impact of deforestation on tropical soil through a comparative analysis of physicochemical and microbiological parameters of natural forest and a deforested barren site. With significant decline in clay, texturally the soil of the deforested ba
## Abstract Grouting is a procedure in which grout is injected into different kinds of spaces. This procedure has had broad applications in modern civil engineering, especially in karst terrains, for nearly 200 years. Ingredients for the preparation of mortars and grouting suspensions include cemen
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of converting native savanna to Eucalyptus grandis forest on soil microbial biomass in tropics. Soil samples were collected from three sites: undisturbed native savanna (savanna), the site of a 1-year-old E. grandis forest (1 y), and the site of a 2
## Abstract The paper describes an investigation into the relationship between the level of sodium induced at the soil surface by the evaporation of saline water and the shear strength, both immediately after salinisation and then again after leaching. The results indicate that the strength of the
