Abstract
Land use and soil management affect the distribution of soil properties thereby resulting in changes in the fertility status. Soil physical and chemical properties on the surface (0-30 cm) of five land uses (cassava/maize, oil palm, cowpea, secondary forest and building site) on a sandy loam Alfisol (Typic paleudalf) were assessed for spatial variations. All the land uses differed significantly (P 35%), the order was cassava/maize (1), oil palm (2), building site (5) > secondary forest (4) > cowpea (3). The study established that different land uses influence the soil differently within the same soil class. Therefore, this must be taken into
