Popis: The study determined the distribution of organic carbon (OC), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and total nitrogen (TN) associated with soil aggregates across land-use types in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Six agricultural land-use types were considered which were undisturbed secondary forest, continuously cropped land, paddock, oil palm, cocoa and teak plantations at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Soils samples were randomly collected from each land use at 0-15 and 15-30cm soil depths in three replicates. The samples were segregated into four aggregate classes
