Animal agriculture is one of the largest causes of deforestation, converting primary and secondary forest into pasture for cattle. By severely altering the landscape, major ecosystem changes occur, including changes in soil properties. I compared the soil of four types of land plots in Las Llanos, Monteverde: primary forest, pasture, reforested pasture, and fallow pasture. I tested the compaction, decomposition rate, presence of water stable aggregates, and arthropod diversity within each plot. Primary forest had significantly lower compaction, and seemed to have higher decomposition rates and higher proportions of large aggregate sizes. The reforestation site resembled both pasture and fallow pasture, especially in the case of compaction a...
