Basaltic soil is considered as the most advantageous soil unit in comparison with other units of the Central Highlands, that distributed mainly in the plateaus of Kon Plong, Kon Ha Nung, Pleiku, Buon Ma Thuot, M'Drak, Dak Nong and Di Linh - Bao Loc. Much of the basaltic soil in the Central Highlands has been used for cultivation of long-term industrial crops. Currently, due to massive forest destruction for developing long-term industrial trees in the basaltic soil in Bao Loc - Di Linh, the natural fertility of the basaltic soil has been remarkably reduced. The physical and chemical properties of the basaltic soil under different land use types have decreased sharply compared to basaltic soil under the natural forest. The average rate of decline of total organic matter content of plantation forest land is 16%, overused forest land is 44%, tea land is 46%, coffee land is 60% compared to the same soil unit under the natural forest. The cation exchange capacity (CEC), content of total nutrients and plant available nutrients under the land use types were also decreased significantly compared to the soil unit under the natural forest. The changes of physical and chemical properties of the basaltic soil with coffee cultivation was highest in comparison with other land use types. The organic matter and potassium are two limiting factors of the nutrients in the basaltic soil of the study area, especially for tea cultivation.
