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 ...

Soil Mineralogical Characterization of Selected Carmine Alfisols and Plinthic Inceptisols of Funtua, Nigeria

Abdulrashid Shobayo Babatunde*, Sulaiman Yau Lawan, Odunze Azubuike Chidowe

This study aimed to characterize the mineralogical properties of soils formed over a basement complex parent material in the Northern Guinea Savanna agro-ecology of Nigeria. The selected study site was in Funtua, Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State, Nigeria. Soil boundaries were delineated, and three soil individuals were identified, name...

Geochemistry of Major Elemental Oxides on a Lithosequence in Kaduna State Nigeria

Lemuel Musa Maniyunda*, Bashiru Ademola Raji, Odunze Azubuike Chidowe, MALGWI W.B.

Geochemistry of major elemental oxides of soils developed on basement complex rocks namely: older granite (OG), migmatite gneiss (MG), mica schist (MS) and quartzites (QZ) was studied in Kaduna State. The contents of major elemental oxides were similar in the soils, except for K2O and TiO2 that varied significantly between the soils. Relative weath...

Morphological and Physical Properties of Soils on Basement Complex in Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria

MANIYUNDA L.M.*, Bashiru Ademola Raji, Odunze Azubuike Chidowe, MALGWI W.B.

Soils developed on four basement complexes, namely Older Granites (OG), Quartzites (QZ), Mica Schists (MS) and Migmatite Gneiss (MG) were studied on crest position in Northern Guinea Savanna of Kaduna State, Nigeria with a view to examine their morphological and physical properties and suggest management options. The results indicated that parent m...
