Objetivo TO UNDERSTAND SOIL PROCESSES IN RESPONSE TO LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THE WORK IS CARRIED OUT AT THREE LEVELS OF INVESTIGATION I.E. WHOLE CATCHMENTS; INDIVIDUAL SOIL PROFILES AND INDIVIDUAL SOIL FRACTIONS. THE EMPHASIS IS ON EXISTING GRASSLAND SUBJECTED TO NIL TREATMENT, FERTILIZATION AND AFFORESTATION. OVERALL RATES OF WEATHERING, ELEMENT TRANSFERS WITHIN IN-SITU SOIL PROFILES, AND ELEMENT RELEASE FROM SOIL MATERIALS, ARE DETERMINED. LABORATORY WORK INCLUDES RESEARCH ON LEACHING OF SOIL COLUMNS AND BLOCKS, AND VARIOUS MICROMORPHOLOGICAL, PETROGRAPHIC AND MICROPROBE STUDIES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO MORE DETAILED UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS IDENTIFIED IN THE FIELD.
