Bamboo can regenerate very fast without replanting and is highly effective in restoring soil degradation. However, impacts of bamboos on soil microbial properties differ at species level. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to quantify and to make a comparative assessment in the status of soil biological properties after 7 years of bamboo plantations. In the study, significant variations were observed in biological properties viz. | The biological properties of bamboo growing soils in mid-hill conditions of HP A comparative study
