Abstract
Soil health can be defined by the ability of soil to support ecosystem function and to sustain quality of the environment and biological productivity. Micronutrients in the soil play a major role to establish a healthy soil and it is very much needed for plant growth and development. It has been seen that different land uses has impacted the soil properties, such as micronutrients. The level of impact of different types of land use pattern on soil and environment varies and assessment of this is important with respect to a natural system in order to evolve long term management policies. Land use pattern plays a crucial role in controlling the soil nutrient recycling and soil quality. Long term cultivation or a specific type of system is one of the major factors that change the soil physical and chemical properties, it also changes the micronutrient concentration in soil and makes it available for plants for their growth. Micronutrients abundance in soil depends upon several things including pH, soil organic matter, clay surfaces and other chemical, biological and physical factors in the rhizosphere which is affected by land use. A major global concern is the changing land use as cultivated land is expanded to fulfil the demand of growing population which causes heavy application of fertilizers or intensive use of agriculture inputs that causes depletion in micronutrients, so proper management of land use system is necessary to establish a sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural environment.
