Morphological and Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Soils in the Tasik Chini Catchment in Pahang, Malaysia

The morphological and physico-chemical properties of 11 soil series representing the major soil types in the Tasik Chini catchment in Pahang, Malaysia were studied. Soil types of the study area showed wide variations in their morphological and physico-chemical properties as a result of mean annual p...
