- Intervention effect Total nitrogen, organic matter and available phosphorus were higher under Albizia gummifera than under other coffee shade tree species.
- Intervention effect Exchangeable potassium, cation exchange capacity and bulk density were higher under Albizia gummifera than under other coffee shade tree species.
- Intervention effect Moisture content, available P and exchangeable K were higher under Acacia abyssinica than under other coffee shade tree species.
- Intervention effect Cation exchange capacity was higher under Acacia abyssinica than under other coffee shade tree species.
- Association Soil pH was negatively correlated with Millettia ferruginia.
- Recommendation Acacia abyssinica and Albizia gummifera with compatible coffee varieties could be a viable option to augment soil fertility management.
