The soil samples had been accrued from four distinctive places of Kundapura mangrove areas &amp;nbsp;in three seasons, monsoon, pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. Soil analysis pertaining to various variables such as total Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, pH and Electrical conductivity. Soil pH is assorted from 3.84 to 6.66. Electrical conductivity is assorted from 0.02 dSm-1 to 9.60 dSm-1. Available nitrogen is assorted from 30.7 kg/ha to 323 kg/ha. Available phosphorus concentration has ranged between 1.37 kg/ha and 47.27 kg/ha. Available potassium is differed from 117.43 kg/ha to 537.63 kg/ha. The results confirmed variations in all of the analyzed parameters of the soils amassed from four stations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Monsoon</kwd><kwd> Nitrogen</kwd><kwd> Phosphorus</kwd><kwd> Post-monsoon</kwd><kwd> Potassium</kwd><kwd> Pre-monsoon</kwd></kwd-group><counts><ref-count count='' /><page-count count='' /></counts></article-meta></front></article>
