摘要

The influence of three different aggregates of baobab stands on soil was investigated at Doba in a semi-arid area ofnorthern Ghana with the aim of examining the different basal areas of the trees on some soil physico-chemicalproperties. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the baobab trees in natural stands categorized into highlyclumped,moderately-clumped and isolated stands and each stand type replicated three times. Each stand type waslocated within 20 m x 20 m of land with the clumped trees forming closed canopies. Soil samples were randomlycollected from two depths (0-10 and 10-20 cm) under the canopies and outside the canopies of the baobab stands usingauger and bulked on local site basis. Soil samples were air-dried, ground and sieved to pass through a 2-mm sieve andsome physico-chemical properties determined using standard laboratory methods. The results indicated that the physicalparameters especially, bulk density and gravimetric moisture content were similar under the three baobab stands whilstsome chemical properties showed variations. The bulk densities of soils under the isolated, moderately-clumped and thehighly-clumped stands were 1.76 ?± 0.03, 1.68 ?± 0.06 and 1.70 ?± 0.01 g m-3, respectively. The organic carbon, totalnitrogen and exchangeable potassium contents of the soils under the three baobab canopies were higher than those of thesoils of the nearby site. The study concludes that the baobab trees have improved the chemical properties of soils undertheir canopies.
