Amelioration of soil physical properties by mucuna after mechanized land clearing of a tropical rain forest
We studied the effect of mucuna (Mucuna utilis) cover on the physical properties of an Oxic paleustalf in western Nigeria, previously cleared by four different methods. The methods used were manual clearing and clearing with a shearblade, a tree-pusher, and a treepusher/root rake. The soil physical...
