An Assessment of the Effect of Different Land use of on Soil Prices in Tunga Maje Gwagwalada Area in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory.

ABSTRACT

This research focused on the assessment of the effects of different land on sites in Tunga Maje, Gwagwalada AreC7 Council of the Federal Territory, having the following objectives, and to examine soil physically of various land uses (three land uses C7na control) with a sample of depth; 0-15cm (topsoil) and _I 6-30crn (subsoil), to compare in soil properties between the three lands use.
