Soils of the Serengeti Woodlands Tanzania

摘要: Soils were surveyed in the woodlands of Serengeti National Park north-west Tanzania. The Woodlands have been covered by volcanic deposits that influenced chemical properties to a large extent. Physical characteristics studied too detail. distribution woodland and grassland correlated with infiltration rate depth moisture front reached after infiltration. A neutron probe was used for soil study. Especially areas frequented herds herbivores, effective rainfall less than half actual rainfall. Mineralogical studies revealed clay fraction soils consisted almost entirely X-ray amorphous material.
