• TITLE: Changes in Soil Properties with Distance in Brick Kiln Areas around Barisal

  AUTHORS: Anjuman Ara Rajonee, Md. Jamal Uddin

  KEYWORDS: Brick Kiln, Kirtonkhola River, Physical Parameters, Organic Carbon

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Soil Science, Vol.8 No.3, March 28, 2018

  ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to evaluate the changes in soil properties due to the impacts of brick kiln in the vicinity of the Kirtonkhola River, Barisal. The study was carried out by determining the physical, physico-chemical and chemical characteristics of soil. During the entire study period, moisture content of soil ranged from 18.77% to 56.49%; bulk density and particle density varies from 0.23 - 0.53 g/cm3 and 1.11 - 3.15 g/cm3, respectively; soil porosity varies from 60.36% to 88.14%; pH varies from 6.98 to 8.85 and organic carbon content varies from 0.22% to 1.4%. The finding revealed that the pH of the soil decreased with increasing distance from the kiln; moisture content and organic carbon increased with distance; particle density was more or less in ideal condition for plant growth but bulk density and porosity indicates poor soil structure which is unfavourable for plant.
