Objective: Evaluate the physical indicators of the quality of soils subjected to four different uses in Lixisols from La Sabana in Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico. Design/methodology/approach: Nine variables were evaluated in soil samples from Lixisols located in La Sabana, Huimanguillo: infiltration rate, resistance to penetration, bulk density, total porosity, aggregate stability, thinning, depth of the horizon, volume and weight of soil loss. We used a completely randomized sample design, with a factor with four levels (each land use: pasture, rubber tree, rubber-cocoa and rubber-mahogany tre... Mehr ...
