Correlation of Different Soil Parameters and Evaluation of Its Effect In A Ramsar Site East Kolkata Wetland
Keywords:
Pearson's Correlation, Soil Parameter, East Kolkata Wetland, Physical ParameterAbstract
The East Kolkata Wetland is the world's largest natural recycling centre for soluble and solid wastes and spread over 12500 hectors. It is also known as the largest sewage fed aquaculture land in the world and provides 264 sewage-fed fisheries, agriculture and solid waste farms and about 150 metric tons of vegetable everyday from its garbage farms. This study mainly focuses on analysis of different soils of EKW area based on different parameters and evaluates relation between soil properties and macro-nutrients. After analysing the parameters it can be easily said that the soils of this land provides nutrients for the growth of this huge crop production. Also from the Pearson’s Correlation analysis it can be concluded that there are some significant positive correlation relationship between the parameters like Organic carbon and Water Holding Capacity, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. A significant negative correlation between Temperature and Water Holding Capacity, Organic Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus has been observed and significant positive relationship between Water Holding Capacity and Nitrogen also exist.
