Land use effect on soil physico-chemical properties were studied in four villages, viz., Tamlu village, Tamlu town, Kangching and Namsang in Longleng district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., Jhum, lowland rice, forest and orange in each village. The soils were characterised by strong to moderate acidic in soil reaction (4.3 to 6.7), high in organic carbon content. The mean cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged between 13.78 to 31.68 c mol (p+) kg-1. The mean bulk density and particle density ranged from 1.18 to 1.51 g cm-3 and 2.2 to 2.34 g cm-3, respectively which generally increased with profile depth and were influenced by organic carbon content and mechanical composition of soils. Water holding capacity (WHC) varied from 40.20 to 54.20 per cent and was higher in the soils under cultivated lowland rice land use as compared to other land uses. The maximum per cent aggregates (WSA>0.25 mm) and mean weight diameter in surface soils was found under Jhum land use. The bulk density, particle density, WHC and mean weight diameter had significant correlation with organic C.Keywords

Land use effect on soil erodibility parameters were studied in four villages, viz., Tamlu village, Tamlu town, Kangching and Namsang in Longleng district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., Jhum, lowland rice, forest and orange in each village. The mean textural class of the soils were clay and clay loam. Dispersion ratio and erosion index were recorded to be usually higher than the threshold limits. Dispersion ratio of the soils ranged from 11.08 to 71.83 where as, erosion index varied between 17.94 and 78.02. A significant and negative correlation of clay with dispersion ratio and erosion index was observed. The highly significant and positive correlation between erosion index and dispersion ratio indicated the susceptibility of these soils to water erosion. Proper agronomic and mechanical soil and water conservation measures need to be adopted to protect the soils from further degradationKeywords
