Abstract

This study examines the extent of interplot (10 x 10 m) variation in soil properties in a tropical moist deciduous forest of Kerala. Soil properties in their ascending order of variation are pH sand silt clay content exchangeable bases organic carbon gravel content exchange acidity. The variations in all properties except pH and sand silt clay content are found to be statistically significant. Percentile distribution of all properties except exchange acidity is higher at the medium range and starts decreasing towards the extremities.
