Abstract
The canopy of different trees have greatly influenced the soil composition of alkali soil due to humus deposition. A great heterogeneity has been observed in the chemical contents of forest soil depending upon the litter types produced by heterogel0us forest composition. The paper deals with the degree of reclamation of usar soil in Banthra forest under different canopy. It was observed that the mixed canopy of Acacia nilotica, Syzygium sissoo has reduced the pH (0-30 cm soil depth) to normal and increased the organic matter of soil followed by other mixed canopies and single species canopy.
