Soil structure stability and organic carbon distribution along the toposequence of Orumba North in derived savannah of the South-East, Nigeria

Chika Jidera*, Ezeokoye, C.S., Sunday Ewele OBALUM, Ukaegbu E.P.

In high-rainfall zones with severe water erosion problems, soil structure stability as promoted by soil organic carbon (SOC) should be prioritized. Landscape positions and land use influence soil properties and nutrient distribution. This study assessed soil structure stability and SOC content at top-slope, mid-slope and low-slope positions of a to...

Impact of Open Cast Mine Land Use on Soil Physical Properties in Enyigba, Southeastern Nigeraand the Implication for Sustainable Land Use Management

Okolo, C.C.*, Akamigbo, F.O.R., Peter I. Ezeaku, Nwite, J.N, Nwite, J.C, Ezeudo, V. C, Ene, J., Ukaegbu E.P., Udegbunam, O.N., Eze, N. C

The study examined the extent of soil physical properties deterioration due to mining activities in Enyiba Ebonyi State, Southeastern Nigeria. In the study, two factors were considered: factor A - Soil depths (surface soil: 0-15 cm and subsurface soil: 15-30 cm) and factor B - Distances from mine pits (100 m, 200 m, 300 m, 400 m and 500 m away from...

Suitability Assessment of Soils Supporting Oil Palm Plantations in the Coastal Plains Sand, Imo State, Nigeria

Ukaegbu E.P.*, Osuaku, S.K., Okolo, C.C.

Due to the declining yield of Oil palm, soils of the coastal plains sand of Imo State supporting oil palms were evaluated. A bulked sample was taken from each of the ten sites studied, at 0 – 20cm and 20 – 40cm depths and analysed in the Laboratory. Soils textures were dominated by sandy loam at the surface, but sandy clay loam at the subsurface. R...
