Abstract
Land use change attributed to increased population pressure, government policies, economic development, and biophysical factors has affected the soil properties, which plays an important role in agricultural productivity. Thus, this study investigated the effects of changes in land use on some selected soil physicochemical properties in the Kilombero valley floodplain, Tanzania. Soils were collected from the pristine wetland, forest, upland cultivation, and rice farm. The agricultural land considered for this study has been converted from forest and wetland, and under cultivation for over 10 years. The total of 48 soil samples were collected from depth of 0-20cm and 20-40cm to investigate the variance of cation exchange capacity (CEC), total organic matter (TOM), total nitrogen (TN), soil pH, bulk density (BD), total phosphorus (TP), soil moisture content (SMW) and water stable aggregates (WSA) in the four selected land use types.
