Abstract

This research was aimed to study soil physico-chemical properties at four slope positions under oil palm plantation in Dharmasraya, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Soils were sampled at 0-20 cm soil depth from 4 different slope positions (upper, middle, lower slope, and the bottom or flat area). The parameters analyzed were soil texture, SOM, bulk density, total pore, hydraulic conductivity, soil water potential (physical characteristics) as well as soil pH, CEC, Al-exchangeable, basic cations (Ca, Mg, K), N, and P (chemical characteristics). The results showed that the bottom area had better soil physicochemical properties than the others. SOM increased by 33%, total pore by 19%, void ratio by 47%, plant available water (PAW) by 28%, soil pH-H2O by 41%, CEC by 171 %, total-N by 170 %, and P-potential by 114 %, in contrast, soil BD and exchangeable-Al were lower (20 % and 96 %, respectively) in the bottom than in the sloping land. The middle slope had the poorest soil physico-chemical properties after 26 years of forest conversion into oil palm plantation. All sites had clay texture, the clay content increased (R2=0.93) by lowering slope position, and so did SOM content (R2=0.86), soil CEC (R2=0.93), and soil total-N values (R2=0.76).

Abstract

Physical characteristicsare among soil propertiesaffecting the susceptibility to erosion.  Determination of physical characteristics of Ultisol was aimed to evaluate the dynamics of soil properties as well asthe impact on soil erosion and runoff (RO) during soybean cultivation in wet tropical area.  Soybean was planted within erosion plots (18 m2)  at 25% slope in UltisolLimauManis (having > 5000 mm annual rainfall).   Soil samples for physical properties (soil texture, bulk density, total pore, permeability, aggregate stability,and organic carbon) as well as amount of RO and soil loss were analyzed at 5 different times (stages) during the cultivation.  The results showed that there was fluctuation in physical properties of Ultisol during the cultivation. Likewise, the amount of runoff and soil loss also changed during the study.  Among the physical properties analyzed, the aggregate stability index of the soil highly correlated to the amount of RO (R2=0.73) and soil loss (R2=0.94).  Amount of RO and soil loss was controlled by soybean development at the average rainfall intensity ≤ 36 mm/day, but not at rainfall intensity >36 mm/day.  It is suggested not to open heavily clayey-low OC soils for seasonal crop farming during rainy season in wet tropical area. Keywords: soil physical properties, Ultisol, erosion,runoff, soybean cultivation

Abstract

In order to clarify the characteristics and stocks of soil nutrient under various land use types in a super wet tropical rain forest in Padang, West Sumatera. We investigated the nutrient characteristics of the several samples of soils under different land use such as cacao plantation (CP), cinnamon plantation (CMP), mixed garden (MG), and primary forest (PF) in Gadut Mountain, Padang, West Sumatra. The soil nutrient characteristics varied among the different land use types. The range of nutrient characteristics under four land use type were 4.60 – 7.01% and 0.4 – 0.60 % for total carbon and total nitrogen and were 9.80 – 24.59, 0.68 – 2.07 and 0.30 – 0.8 mol (+) kg-1 for Ca, Mg and K, respectively. The highest content of soil nutrient status was found under MG, while the lowest soil nutrient status found at PF. This result indicated that the MG with various vegetation types might contribute in enriching the organic matter in soil. The soil nutrient content such as TN, exchangeable Ca, Mg and K tended to decrease with soil depth of each land use type. However, the sodium (Na) content in soil tended to increase within the soil depth. These were presumably due to evaporation of Na at surface soil within the study area was low. These study results showed that spatially the nutrient properties of soil were closely related to the land use type and management practices. It was suggested that the nutrient characteristics of soils under various land use types in a super wet tropical rain forest region, in Gadut Mountain, Padang West Sumatra were significantly affected by the land use types and land coverage.
