Comparison of soil characteristics and carbon content of contrastingly different moist-mixed deciduous and evergreen mangrove forest in Odisha, India
The research associated the comparison of soil properties influencing organic carbon between forest of Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary (CWS), Bhubaneswar and Bhitarkanika National Park (BNP), Rajnagar of Odisha. Soil samples were collected randomly from sampling plots (20 m × 50 m) and characterized by...
