Soil and Halophytes in Samet
Investigating the correlation between soil quality and biological activities of selected plants in coastal zone of Samet, Chonburi, Thailand is the main aim of the current environmental and biological research. The physicochemical factors of the soil were tested using the standard equipment from Extech. The extracts of the experimental plants were used for various screening to discover the capacity of the plant in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and other plants like Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Rhizopus nigricans. The results of various experiments were observed, gathered, and compared using one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD Test. Based on the experimentations, results and gathered data, the researchers concluded that there was a correlation between soil quality and biological activities of the selected plants in coastal zone of Samet, Chonburi, Thailand. The higher amount of soil nutrients enabled the plants to produce substances that yield to various biological activities. Moreover, there are significant differences (p<0.05) in soil temperature (5cm and 10cm depth) and relative humidity except for soil pH and air temperature (p>0.05). In addition, more research will be conducted to evaluate the other soil parameters and other biological activities of the experimental plants. Keywords: Correlation, Soil parameter, Biological Activity, and ANOVA
