The long‐term effects of land clearing methods (manual, shear blade, tree‐pusher/root‐rake combination, traditional), tillage systems (disc ploughing, mechanized no‐tillage, traditional) and cropping systems (annual cropping, alley cropping, graxed pasture) on surface soil physical and chemical properties were evaluated on an Alfisol in south‐western Nigeria ten years after land clearing. Long‐term soil physical degradation was greatest after mechanized land clearing or tillage systems. The erosion resulting from soil compaction with mechanized land management systems resulted in exposure of subsoil. Cropping system had no significant effect on soil physical properties. Alley cropping decreased exchangeable calcium and pH, and increased tot...
