Responses of soil health to seasonal change under different land cover types in a sub-tropical preserve ecosystem. by Noel Manirakiza, Suraj Melkani, Abul Rabbany, Natalia Medina-Irizarry, Samuel Smidt, Anna Braswell, Willm Martens-Habbena, Jehangir H Bhadha

“…Based on soil health classification grades, soil health status either improved, declined, or remained constant between seasons, depending on land cover type. The regression analysis of eight selected environmental factors, such as soil profile moisture (SPM), surface soil wetness (SSW), precipitation (P), soil temperature (T), elevation (El), slope gradient (S), global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and surface albedo (ALB), showed that only slope gradient significantly explains variations in SHI during wet season, whereas other environmental factors do not show significant explanatory power for SHI variations in either dry or wet season. …”
