{ "description": "<p>Peatland is available in considerable quantities in Ethiopia. The current investigation was aimed<br>\non analysis of physicochemical properties, heavy metal concentration and micronutrient<br>\navailability of Peat land soil found at GUNA Mountain (Mehil Chemaw), Siemen Mountain<br>\nNational Park (Debela) and one control sample at Gondar zuria woreda Amhara region, Ethiopia.<br>\nSoil samples were randomly collected to a depth of 20cm using auger. Samples were air-dried,<br>\nsieved by <2 mm mesh and analyzed using standard procedures. The following physicochemical<br>\nproperties such as color, texture, pH, EC, CEC, OC, OM, TN of the soil and some selected metal<br>\nconcentrations (Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Mg) were analyzed. The result shows that the color<br>\nof soil at GUNA, SNP and GDC is dark black, dark brown and light black, respectively. The soil<br>\ntextural class of GUNA and SNP is clay, while GDC is sandy clay. pH and EC determined in<br>\nsoil/water (1:2.5, v/v) the soil pH of GUNA (4.83) and SNP (5.1) are strong acid and GDC (6.63)<br>\nslightly acid. The EC of GUNA and SNP is 0.136 and 0.121 ds/m, respectively but GDC soil<br>\n0.062 ds/m. The CEC in GUNA (51.2cmol (+)/kg) and SNP (48.8 cmol (+)/kg) have very high<br>\nand GDC (32.2cmol (+)/kg) high.</p>", "license": "http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by", "creator": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Shiferaw Dessie" } ], "headline": "Physico-Chemical Analysis of Peat Land Soil Found in Guna Mountain (Mehil Chemaw) and Semen Mountain National Park (Debela) Amhara Region, Ethiopia", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2017-06-01", "url": "https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/record/3439", "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:3439", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:3439", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "Physico-Chemical Analysis of Peat Land Soil Found in Guna Mountain (Mehil Chemaw) and Semen Mountain National Park (Debela) Amhara Region, Ethiopia" }
