It is generally assumed that perennial plant cover (as in plantation agriculture) provides an adequate protection for the soil. This book reviews these concepts, focusing on soil chemical changes under different land-use systems in the tropics. These include perennial crops, annual crops and forest plantations. Two case studies, on sisal plantations in Tanzania and sugar cane in Papua New Guinea, are presented for detailed analysis. It is demonstrated that soil fertility decline is also a problem on plantations
