| Abstract | Relatively few studies have been focused on the land use effects on physical and chemical properties of soils. The authors' objectives were to examine the correlation between soil physical and chemical properties and to examine the distribution of selected soil physical and chemical properties under different land uses, landscape positions and soil depths. This study was conducted in three tropical rain forests in Puerto Rico: Luquillo (18/spl deg/ 18'N 65/spl deg/ 43'W), Guanica (17/spl deg/ 48'N 66/spl deg/ 53'W), and Ciales (18/spl deg/ 18'N 66/spl deg/ 30'W). Three types of land use were identified secondary forest, abandoned pasture, and active pasture. Three landscape positions (top, middle, and bottom) were delineated within each land use type. An Impedance Probe (IP) was used to measure volumetric water content (VWC) in the upper 6-cm soil depth within each land use and landscape positions. After the VWC measurement disturbed soil samples were collected from three landscape positions and three soil depths (0 to 5, 5 to 10, and 10 to 15-cm). Soil samples were air-dried and soil pH was measured using a pH meter. Exchangeable Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe were also determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). The observed Coefficient of Variations (CVs) for the soil properties was in the order of Fe>Al>Mg>VWC>Ca>pH. Soil pH exhibited a significant positive correlation with Ca and Mg and a significant negative correlation with Fe and Al. A significant positive correlation was observed between VWC, pH, Fe, and Al and a significant negative correlation between VWC, Ca, and Mg. The Luquillo site had lower pH and higher exchangeable Al and Fe as compared to Ciales and Guanica. Land use practice also had significant influence on the spatial distribution of soil physical and chemical properties for all sites. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
