Effect of Nypa Fruticans and Mangrove Species on Soil Properties in Eastern Obolo, Akwa Ibom State

Ogban P. I.*, Dickson, U. S, Ebong, U. P

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of nypa and mangrove on soil properties to determine whether nypa in displacing mangrove was degrading or aggrading the underlying soil, in Okorombokho Community in Eastern Obolo Area of Akwa Ibom State. The study was carried out in three contiguous loca- tions, namely, mangrove (M) forest, nypa and ma...

Effect of Nypa Fruticans Pruning Regime and Soil Properties on Regeneration of Mangrove Species (rhizophora Racemosa) in Eastern Obolo, Akwa Ibom State

Ogban P. I.*, Ebong, U. P, Dickson, U. S

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Nypa fruticans pruning regimes on the regeneration of mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa) at Okorombokho in Eastern Obolo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The Nypa was pruned at a uniform height of 10 cm and the area protected with used fishing nets against infiltration by Nypa seeds in tidal floods. Mangrove ...

Testing the Goodness of Fit of Infiltration Models for Soils Formed on Coastal Plain Sands in Akwa Ibom State, Southeastern Nigeria

Ogban P. I.*, Jude Obi, Anwanane, N. B., Edet, R. U., Okon, N. E.

Infiltration of water into the soil is an important physical process affecting the fate of water under field conditions, especially, the amount of subsurface recharge and surface runoff and hence, the hazard of soil erosion. The study was conducted to investigate the capability of six infiltration models, namely, Kostiakov, modified Kostiakov (A) a...

Erodibility and Gully Erosion in Relation to Soil Properties in Akwa Ibom State, South Eastern, Nigeria

Ogban P. I.*, Edoho, I. J

This study was conducted to evaluate soil physical and chemical properties in relation to erodibility and gully erosion in Akwa Ibom State, South eastern Nigeria. The locations of study were three gully erosion sites/ types, namely, active and meta-stable (ms-1 and ms-2) gullies. Results of the study showed that coarse sand (CS) particles averaged ...
