ABSTRACT
The study aimed to assess the change of soil properties of land use patterns affecting drought and saline intrusion in the Ben Tre province during 2019-2020. Soil samples were taken, and the data on land use patterns of Rice, Bare Soil, Shrimp, and Coconut in three horizons were at 0-20 cm, 20-60cm, and 60-100cm. The analysis of soil pH, EC, organic matter, and Bulk density was conducted to assess the changes in soil properties. The results showed that soil pH, EC, and salinity had to be slightly increased in 2020, but soil organic matter and Bulk density were not changed. Therefore, the Ben Tre province's drought and saline intrusion conditions had a negligible impact in general evaluation. However, it is necessary to perform more other studies to clarify the effects of drought and salinity.
