Soil physical and chemical properties were quantified using triplicate soil samples collected from each land-use/cover at two depths (0–15 and 15–30 cm) in three LK PLS Learning Innovation Platform (IP) sites (Bufundi in Uganda, Mupfuni-Shanga in D.R. Congo, Gataraga in Rwanda). Small scale agriculture has increased in all the benchmarked micro-catchments at the expense of other land-uses/covers. In the settlement areas land-use/cover distribution along the landscape varied across sites and countries; the major one being eucalyptus woodlots, wetland, and perennials and annuals crops in Bufundi; annuals and perennials crops in Mupfuni-Shanga; and annuals crops in Gataraga. Perennial crops tended to occur at the footslope and valley bottoms, while the annuals occurred at the upper backslopes and summits. Available P and K were relatively higher and C/N ratio (7.28) was the lowest in Mupfuni Shanga. Annual crops had the lowest available P and N across site (). The key nutrients N, P and K were below the critical values for plant growth for Bufundi.","2015","published",,"Advances in Agriculture","2015","752936","Hindawi Publishing Corporation",,"01-08",,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE",,"2356-654X",,,,,,"","http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/752936","https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_ylo=2015&q=Soil+Fertility+in+relation+to+Landscape+Position+and+Land+Use/Cover+Types:+A+Case+Study+of+the+Lake+Kivu+Pilot+Learning+Site&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
