Fluctuating water table in deep peat soil: effects on selected soil nutrients / Ain Natasha Shafiee
This study intends to assess the effects of fluctuating water table on selected nutrients in deep peat soil. Due to the unique hydrological system of peat soil, it is suspected that nutrients will act differently in accordance to different level of water table. In this study, soil samples were colle...
