Some Physical Properties of Soils Overlying Limestone Parent Material in Southeastern Nigeria

Aki, E. E.^*, Antigha, N.R.B.

The physical properties of nine (9)pedons of soils derived from limestone parent materials in South Eastern Nigeria were investigated. The percentage of total sand generally decreased with increase in profile depth with total sand for the surface horizons of 61% and 47% for the subsurface hori- zons. Silt percentage for the surface horizons range b...
