Co-relationship between the soil pH and organic matter in mining area Bastacola, Dhanbad

Authors(1) :-Sonam Bharti

Organic carbon, is an essential tool for carbon sequestering in soil and also balancing carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Soil organic carbon indicates the soil quality such as organic matter and water holding capacity etc. Soil pH help in solubilizing mineral nutrient helping sustain agricultural process .This research paper mainly focuses on study area near mining zone and know the soil quality status with the help of these two parameters. In order to help in socio-economic benefit to local livelihood.
