difference between cultivated land and forest land
Answers
Answer:
Now-a-days for food security land conversion and degradation of soil quality is common problem. In Kashmir land use changes mainly from natural vegetation to cultivated lands brought about rapid nutrient depletion. Intensive and continuous cultivation of land without proper management resulted in decline in soil properties which aggravate crop yield reduction and food shortage. Therefore, the present study is designed to have comparison between forest and agriculture land uses in relation to physico-chemical properties and nutrient status of soil in district Ganderbal of Jammu and Kashmir. Seventy two samples were collected on the basis of stratified random sampling design from forest and agriculture land use. The result showed significant variations, coarser texture was found in forestry as compared to agriculture. Bulk density, moisture content, dispersion ratio (1.28 g cm-3 , 28.86%, 0.16) was found significantly lower (P ≤ 0.05) in forest than agriculture (1.4 g cm-3 , 39.09%, 0.80), OC was found significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher in forestry (23.68 g-kg-) as compared to agriculture (4.3 g-kg-). Almost all nutrients were found significantly higher in forest land use except phosphorous, particle density which showed non significant variation between two land uses. The results revealed that soil quality declines as land use changed from forest to cultivated lands. So in order to meet the needs of rising population of Jammu and Kashmir as well as of nation one should maintain the soil properties of agriculture land too by adding more amount of input sources especially organic matter along with inorganic fertilizers particularly for micronutrients.

Answer:
Forest land is grassy and mossy and just alive with creatures and cultivated land is all tiled up mostly looks like the start of a garden.
