Acidic soil reactions, low nutrient content, low organic carbon levels, and low soil biodiversity characterize marginal land. Adding organic matter, such as compost, is expected to rehabilitate these lands. One key biological indicator of successful land rehabilitation by adding organic matter or co...

Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Geographical Information Systems are two spatial soil erosion analysis models because both have a spatial context. As an important factor, soil erodibility is crucial in determining soil erosion, with C-organic significantly influencing the K value. The main a...
