Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Within farms, TN, Pav, K, Ca, Mg and cation exchange capacity differed significantly.
- Association Tree identity and radial distance had no significant effect on most soil physicochemical properties.
- Association The interaction of tree identity and radial distance significantly influenced TC, C/N ratio, Ca and CEC, with maxima beneath larger, older Ficus sur.
- Observation Leaf litter elemental composition differed among tree species.
- Observation Croton macrostachyus had the lowest litter C/N ratio.
- Observation Croton macrostachyus had the highest litter nutrient concentrations.
- Observation Cordia africana decomposed more slowly.
- Recommendation The authors suggest conserving large, old trees within enset farming systems to maintain soil fertility.
