Abstract

In this investigation the edaphic nature of the grassland habitat system has been analysed and discussed. From the results, it is held that these soils are exceptionally high in silica content, sesquioxides and iron oxide. The release of vital cations and anions in their respective soil solutions is relatively poor. However, the soils are highly satisfactory for energy materials content, available nitrogen and water holding capacity but very poor in available phosphorus. In the end paper has been concluded with possible suggestions.
