    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Peatland is available in considerable quantities in Ethiopia. The current investigation was aimed&lt;br&gt;
on analysis of physicochemical properties, heavy metal concentration and micronutrient&lt;br&gt;
availability of Peat land soil found at GUNA Mountain (Mehil Chemaw), Siemen Mountain&lt;br&gt;
National Park (Debela) and one control sample at Gondar zuria woreda Amhara region, Ethiopia.&lt;br&gt;
Soil samples were randomly collected to a depth of 20cm using auger. Samples were air-dried,&lt;br&gt;
sieved by &amp;lt;2 mm mesh and analyzed using standard procedures. The following physicochemical&lt;br&gt;
properties such as color, texture, pH, EC, CEC, OC, OM, TN of the soil and some selected metal&lt;br&gt;
concentrations (Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Mg) were analyzed. The result shows that the color&lt;br&gt;
of soil at GUNA, SNP and GDC is dark black, dark brown and light black, respectively. The soil&lt;br&gt;
textural class of GUNA and SNP is clay, while GDC is sandy clay. pH and EC determined in&lt;br&gt;
soil/water (1:2.5, v/v) the soil pH of GUNA (4.83) and SNP (5.1) are strong acid and GDC (6.63)&lt;br&gt;
slightly acid. The EC of GUNA and SNP is 0.136 and 0.121 ds/m, respectively but GDC soil&lt;br&gt;
0.062 ds/m. The CEC in GUNA (51.2cmol (+)/kg) and SNP (48.8 cmol (+)/kg) have very high&lt;br&gt;
and GDC (32.2cmol (+)/kg) high.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
