Use of Point - Based Pedotransfer Function to Predict Field Capacity of the Soil in Nsukka Area, Southeast Nigeria

Obidike-Ugwu E. O.*, M.E. Obi, Anikwe M. A. N

Point-based pedotransfer functions are attractive for modelling soil water content, however, they have not been widely applied to predict field capacity (FC) of weathered tropical ultisols. Determination of field capacity at Nsukka area, was carried out using field and laboratory methods. Soils in the location were gravelly (Plots E and F) while ot...

Application of Semivariogram Model to Quantify Spatial Variability of Soil Properties in a Forested Tropical Soil.

Obidike-Ugwu E. O.*, Ogunwole J. O., Odunze Azubuike Chidowe, Nwafor O. E., Ariwaodo J. O.

Accurate evaluation of spatial variability of soil properties is one of the key components of ecosystem management. The conventional analytical and semivariogram methods were used to analyze data to quantify the potential of the semi-variogram model for measuring soil properties and their spatial variability in a tropical forest ecosystem. A total ...
