e0“soil bulk density, soil moisture content, total nitrogen, organic carbon, available phosphorus and exchangeable cation (Mg, Ca and K) were significantly (P<0.05) influenced mainly due to higher organic matter input through litter fall, root biomass, uptake and return of nutrients from deeper soil profiles under the tree canopies.”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Ziziphus did not significantly influence soil pH, EC, CEC or texture.
- Association Sorghum grain yield did not differ significantly across the tree distances.
- Association Sorghum above-ground biomass did not differ significantly across the tree distances.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that retaining Ziziphus on cropland improves soil fertility.
