Land use impacts on physical-based soil organic matter fractions on three hillside Ferrasols in Mexico

The effects of cultivation in hillside (> 30% slope) on soil C and N stocks after forest clearance and subsequent cultivation in new re-growth forest sites not always induce rapid soil organic matter (SOM) loss in subtropical areas. In the present study we evaluated the sensitivity to SOM changes...

In the present study we evaluated the sensitivity to SOM changes of material floatable in water (Fw), coarse sand (> 250 mm), fine sand (50-250 mm), silt (2-50 mm) and clay (0-2 mm) fractions by the impact of cultivation of Mexican Ferrasols.
