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 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
Four treatments (control, chemical fertilizer, wheat straw, and wheat straw + fertilizer) were established on the dryland experimental farm of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University. Organic C in the different treatments ranged from 0.69 to 0.93%, total N from 0.08 to 0.11%
Tree species differ in their effect on soil development and nutrient cycling. Conversion of beech coppice to pine plantations can alter soil physical and chemical properties, which in turn may have significant impacts on soil microbial biomass C and N (C mic , N mic ). The major objective of this st
