Soil Physicochemical Properties and Geochemical Indices: Diagnostic Tools for Evaluating Pedogenesis in Tephra-Derived Soils along the Cameroon Volcanic Line

Physical and geochemical properties of six soils developed on tephra from Mts. Kupe and Manengouba were studied in order to assess the degree of weathering of the tephric parent materials. Physico-chemical properties were determined following standard procedures. Total elemental contents and selecti...
