Short-Term Effects of Land Leveling on Irrigation-Related Some Soil Properties in a Clay Loam Soil

Table 5

Mean changes in surface and subsurface soil properties of cut and fill areas separately that occurred as a result of land leveling.

Area	Soil depth (cm)	WHC (mm)	FC (%wt)	PWP (%wt)	BD (g cm^−3)	Clay (%)	Sand (%)	Silt (%)	EC (dS m^−1)	pH
