Inorganic soil arsenic (As) in three soils was fractionated adopting phosphorus fractionation schemes. Among these fractions, iron-bound arsenic (Fe-As) was found highest, followed by aluminium-bound arsenic (Al-As). The freely exchangeable arsenic was relatively small compared to the arsenic held by internal surfaces of soil aggregates. The arsenic fractions exhibited positive correlation with phosphorus content presumably due to the fact that high P in soil releases more arsenic from soil adsorption sites owing to the competition for the same adsorption sites. Predominantly, negative correlation of arsenic with organic carbon confirms the fact of lowering of arsenic mobility in presence of organics in soil.Keywords

A study was conducted on the distribution of different forms of zinc (Zn) in soils (0–20 and 20–40 cm depths)in different blocks of Cooch Behar district, West Bengal,India. The soils of the selected areas were acidic in reaction (pH) at both the depths, ranging from 4.23 to 6.96 (0–20 cm) and 3.89 to 6.45 (20–40 cm) and having sandy to sandy loam texture. The different fractions of Zn varied among the soils of all locations. The order of different zinc fractions was: exchangeable zinc(Ex-Zn) < organic matter-bound zinc (OM-Zn) –1 at 0–20 cm depth and 0.92 kg ha–1 in the soils of Tufanganj-II at 20–40 cm depth respectively. Exch-Zn,OM-Zn, Mn-Ox-Zn and Am-Ox-Zn were positively correlated with CEC (r = 0.088, r = 0.105, r = 0.137, r = 0.103) at 0–20 cm depth, while at 20–40 cm depth, Exch-Zn, OM-Zn, Mn-Ox-Zn, Am-Ox Zn and Cry-Ox-Zn were positively correlated with CEC (r = 0.204, r = 0.168, r = 0.342, r = 0.123, r = 0.278). The influence of different soil properties on the distribution of Zn fractions in the soils was apparent from this study.Keywords

Land use/land cover (LULC) plays a pivotal role in maintaining the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) balance in the ecosystem. It is also important for controlling soil organic carbon (SOC) levels by affecting the quantity and quality of below- and above-ground litter inputs and subsequent decomposition. The aim of the present study was to understand the effect of LULC on the C and N fractions and their stocks in the Eastern Himalayan floodplain. The study was conducted at the Pundibari campus of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India, hosting four kinds of land uses – agricultural croplands, grasslands, plantation croplands and human-interfered lands. The soils were acidic (pH 5.13–5.68) irrespective of the LULC type and low in bulk density (1.02–1.27 g/cm3). Estimation of several forms of C and N, viz. SOC, total C, available N, ammoniacal N, nitrate N, total N, C stock, N stock, etc., indicated variations in these forms under different LULC types. Significant variations (P < 0.05) were found for SOC and ammoniacal N content in different LULC types. Both mean C and N stocks were found highest in grassland soils (18.91 and 2.64 t ha–1 respectively), followed by plantation croplands (17.24 and 2.41 t ha–1 respectively).Keywords
