Soils were collected from the farmers' field with the history of biological (combination of organic and conventional farming practices) and conventional management systems in Dalwallinu and Merredin, Western Australia. A sequential extraction procedure was used to fractionate water-soluble (WS), exchangeable (EX), specifically adsorbed (SA), acid-soluble (AS), manganese (Mn)-oxide-occluded (Mn-OX), organic matter occluded (OM), amorphous iron (Fe)-oxide-bound (AFe-OX), crystalline Fe-oxidebound (CFe-OX), and residual (RES) Zn forms. There was a similar trend of distribution of Zn fractions in both farming systems from the two locations. More than 80 % of the total Zn content occurred in the relatively inactive and mineral-bound residual form (RES), whereas only a small fraction occurred in WS, EX, OM, AFe-OX, and CFe-OX fractions. Among all the fractions, water soluble and exchangeable (which are important for plant use) were higher in biological than conventional soils at both locations. Management systems, particularly biological practices, enhanced plant-available and total Zn pools in soils.

A study to identify soil-fertility status of land use systems ie Bari (upland) and Khet (irrigated lowland), which are the two district and dominant agricultural land use systems in the Hills of Nepal was carried out in
