Soil–Landscape Relationship in Lohit Valley near Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh, India

B. P. Bhaskar, R. K. Saxena

Abstract :

The genesis, classification and soil -landscape relationships of eight profiles in tectonically sensitive pedological province of Lohit valley near Tezu of Arunachal Pradesh were studied using satellite data, field survey and laboratory characterization. The soil distribution showed that the hill land soils have shown progressive pedogenic pathway (subgroups of Entisols to Inceptisols) with horizon development, soil deepening and chemical stability but regressive pathway in piedmont plains (Subgroups of Inceptisols to Entisols) with homogenization and chemical instability. The structuring of soils on given landscape was useful in assessing soil development and designing land management strategies in North Eastern parts of India.
