Popis: Land-use change significantly impacts soil micro-nutrients distribution and transformations due to their inefficient scale- and location-specific management in different ecosystems. We studied the changes in micro-nutrients (viz. Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn) availability and their transformations in soils of hilly landscapes under five distinct land-use systems including mono cropping, double cropping, agroforestry, orchards and the vegetable crops to explore relationship between different fractions of variable solubility and their mobility in response to land-use change. Among the compared land-use systems, DTPA-Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu comprised ~ 3.0 to 8.2%, ~ 0.21 to 0.35%, ~ 1.2 to 6.3% and ~ 7.6 to 17.5% of their respective total content in soils. The agroforestry system had significantly (p
