Pedological Study of Soils Developed on Granodiorite in Biase Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria

E. E. Aki^*, I. E. Esu, Akpan-Idiok A. U.

Morphological, physico-chemical and mineralogical properties of soils derived from Granodiorite of Biase, Cross River State, Nigeria were studied with a view to classifying the soil taxonomically, assessing their potentials and suggesting appropriate management strategies. Three profiles were dug on the landscapes of Ikot-Okpara, Betem and Ehom. Th...

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

E. E. Aki^*, 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...

Morphological, Physicochemicaland Mineralogical Properties of Soils Developed from Basalt Atikom, Cross River State, Nigeria

I. E. Esu^*, U. Uko, E. E. Aki

Soils developed from basalt were studied along with a top sequence of a deeply excavated basaltic quarry site at Ikom, Cross River State, Nigeria. The soils were very deep and occupy gently sloping plains of 0 – 8% gradients. Each pedon examined, had four distinct layers, the Ap, BA, Bt and Crtg horizons. The Ap horizons have dark reddish grey (5YR...
