Kebakaran di hutan gambut telah mengubah karakteristik lahan tersebut. Ironisnya, saat ini perhatian berupa riset terhadap sifat fisik dan kimia lahan gambut yang mengalami perubahan tersebut masih sangat rendah. Padahal sifat fisik dan kimia gambut merupakan faktor penting yang mempengaruhi kemampuan tanah untuk berproses. Sehingga tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk kondisi fisik dan kimia tanah pada lahan gambut pasca kebakaran tahun 2006 dan 2015. Studi ini dilakukan pada tahun 2017 di Kebun Konservasi Plasma Nutfah, Indonesia dan analisis dilakukan di Laboratorium Ilmu Tanah, Universitas Sriwijaya dan Balai Riset Standarisasi Industri Palembang (Baristand). Berdasarkan analisis uji lanjutan Beda Nyata Jujur (BNJ) pada sifat fisika tanah menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan nyata terhadap perubahan kadar air dan bulk density di lahan pasca terbakar tahun 2015 dan lahan pasca terbakar tahun 2006 yang sudah dilakukan kegiatan rehabilitasi. Pada sifat kimia, pH, C-Organik, Phospor, dan Kalium menunjukkan adanya perubahan nyata terhadap kebakaran di lahan gambut pasca terbakar tahun 2006 dan di lahan gambut pasca terbakar tahun 2015, akan tetapi terhadap N-total adanya perubahan akan tetapi tidak terlalu nyata di kedua lokasi. Masih dibutuhkan informasi lebih komprehensif terhadap unsur fisika dan kimia lainnya serta  sifat biologi tanah sehingga dapat menjadi acuan yang lebih presisi. Fires in peat forests have changed the characteristics of the land. Ironically, current attention includes research on the physical and chemical properties of peatlands that have changed is still scarce. Though the physical and chemical properties of peatlands is an essential factor affecting the ability of the soil to process. So, the purpose of this research is to analyze the physical and chemical properties of soil on peatlands after burning in 2006 and 2015. This study was conducted in 2017 at the Kebun Konservasi Plasma Nutfah (Germplasm Conservation Garden), Indonesia and analysis were carried out at the Soil Science Laboratory, Sriwijaya University and the Palembang Industrial Standardization Research Center (Baristand). Based on further analysis of Honest Significant Difference (BNJ) on the physical properties of soil shows that there are significant differences in changes of water content and bulk density in post-burnt land in 2015 and post-burnt land in 2006 that have been carried out rehabilitation activities. In the analysis of chemical properties consisting of analysis of pH, C-Organic, Phosphor, and Potassium showed a real change in fires in peatlands after burning in 2006 and peatlands after burning in 2015. However, at the N-total values, changes occurred but not too real in both locations. More comprehensive information is still needed on other physical and chemical elements as well as soil biological characteristics so that they can become more precise references.

The organic matter content has significantly decreased in some of the tea gardens in north of Iran, thereforeresulting in degradation of their physical and chemical properties. An experiment was conducted in two tea gardens in order to investigate the effect of lime and vermicompost on soil's physical and chemical properties. The studied tea soils were located in Gilan province (Bazkiyagorab and Azbaram) in Iran (with clay loam and sandy loam texture). Vermicompost was applied in 3 levels of 0, 2.5% and 5% and lime was applied in two levels of 0 and 0.5%. The measurements were carried out three times (after 0, 90 and 180 days). The results showed that lime and vermicompost application has significantly affected the calcium carbonate content, pH, the electrical conductivity (EC) and the soil organic matter (SOM) content in the studied soils. Lime application significantly increased the infiltration rate (P<0.01). Comparison of the average interaction of lime with vermicompost in the Azbaram station soil showed that 5% vermicompost and 0.5% lime with an average of 5.49 (mm h-1) had the highest infiltration rate (IR) and had a significant difference with the other treatments. Comparison of the average interaction of lime with vermicompost in Basquegorob garden showed that the treatment of 5% vermicompost with 0.5% lime, the time stage of 180 days with an average density of 1.11 (g cm-3) had the lowest bulk density (BD) and was significantly different from other levels. It seems that the simultaneous presence of lime and vermicompost and their effect on improving the soil structure and increasing porosity, leads to reduction of the soil's bulk density. The results obtained in this study have clearly indicated that the simultaneous applications of vermicompost and lime is an effective way to improve soil physical and chemical properties. However, the real potential of the amendments used in this experiment should be further assessed under field conditions using a test crop.

Abstract Mosses are one of the most important and dominant plant communities, especially in the temperate biome, and play a significant role in ecosystem function and dynamics. They influence the water, energy and element cycle due to their unique ecology and physiology. The present study was undertaken in three different temperate forest sites in the Garhwal Himalayas, viz., Triyuginarayan (Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS)), Chakrata, and Kanasar forest range. The study was focused on understanding the influence of mosses on soil physical properties and nutrient availability. Different physico-chemical properties were analysed under two different substrata, that is, with and without moss cover in two different seasons, viz., monsoon and winter. We observed mosses to influence and alter the physical properties and nutrient status of soil in both seasons. All soil physical and chemical properties, except magnesium, showed significant difference within the substrates, among all the sites and across the two seasons. Besides the soil characteristics underneath the moss vegetation, the study also highlights the diversity of mosses found in the area. Mosses appear to create high nutrient microsites via a high rate of organic matter accumulation and retain nutrients for longer periods thus, maintaining ecosystem stability.

&lt;p&gt;Rocky desertification induced by severe deforestation has caused the water loss and soil erosion in karst regions in southeast China, limiting local social and economic developments. To prevent further rocky desertification, the farmland which had obtained by deforestation were abandoned for recovery. As soil quality improved by agriculture abandonment should be examined, it is necessary to investigate the dynamics of physical and chemical properties of soil in different ages after abandonment. In this study, 38 investigation sites were selected for soil sampling on the slopes in Longtan trough valley in Youyang County, Chongqing Municipality, China. The dominant plant species of the investigation sites were also noted during soil sampling. The sites were divided into seven age classes according to their abandonment time. Dynamics of water content, bulk density, pH, and concentration of available potassium, available phosphorus, available nitrogen, total nitrogen and organic matters were examined. It suggests that soil quality might be deteriorated right after abandonment and then improved from around 20 years after abandonment. Deterioration of soil quality may be induced by lack of plant coverage and exposure of rock outcrops which may accelerate water loss and swelling and shrinkage cycles of soil. After the formation of plant communities and litter layer above the ground, soil quality was then apparently improved. These findings can provide a potential guideline for recovery management in karst regions in southwest of China.&lt;/p&gt;
