Soil properties are playing a dominant role in nutrient transformation. In upland well aerated
soil transformation of nutrients varies from those in submerged condition. The rate of nitrification
is more in well aerated soils. Nitrate losses are common in submerged soils because of its higher
mobility. Mineralization of nitrogen increases with increase in temperature from 15-35oC. Soil
compaction increases the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and apparent nitrogen recovery (ANR).
Increasing nutrient content due to increase in bulk density owing to compaction makes more
nutrients available per unit volume of soil. Regarding P, fixation is a major problem which
affects its availability. The fixation of P in soil may be influenced by clay and exchangeable,
extractable, amorphous and crystalline forms of Al and Fe.Upland soils are normally well aerated
soil with water table of more than 3 M deep. Oxidation of nutrients is a major process in upland
soils, while reduction so in submerged soils, thus oxidation and reduction potential may be
affecting the availability of nutrients in most soil
