There was a tendency for higher SOC in converted land, associated with higher bulk density suggesting quality based land use selection with forest left on inferior soils.
The overall qualities of the soils under the cultivated land were inferior to soils attributes of the adjacent natural forest, plantation forest and grazing lands.
Due to the inferior characteristics of indigenous soils in eastern Saudi Arabia, marl is being utilized to improve their properties.
In addition, an in vitro biocement test was done to define the prospect of using these bacterial isolates in civil engineering work for the improvement of soils with inferior properties.
The Chingleput District Manual (1879) describes the region's soils as "highly inferior" and "highly stony or mixed with lime, gravel, soda and laterite".
Often, these soils are known for their inferior engineering behavior including very high compressibility and low shear strength.
Since then, a study led by Dr Bryant Scharenbroch at the Morton Arboretum Soil Science laboratory in Lisle, Illinois, and published in Arboriculture and Urban Forestry, suggested that compost tea was inferior to fertiliser at enhancing microbe activity in the soil.
The Botany Bay area had poor soil and little water, and the harbour itself was inferior.
