Soil organic matter and soil structural stability under different landuses in Koupendri catchment, Benin Republic

Azuka, C.V.*, Nwite, J.N, Obi Martins Eze, Igué, A. M.

Knowledge of contribution of land use to sustenance of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil structural stability is crucial to management of tropical soils for optimization of ecosystem services. The study evaluated SOM and soil structural stability in maize-sorghum (MS), fallow shrub land (FL) and rice field (RF) in Koupendri catchment, Benin Republ...

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

Obidike-Ugwu E. O.*, Obi Martins Eze, 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...

Assessment of Degradation Status of Soil in Selected Areas of Benue State Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria

Adaikwu A.O*, Obi Martins Eze, A. Ali

The assessment of degradation status of soils in selected areas of Benue state was carried out in 2009. The physical and chemical properties of these soils were evaluated in the laboratory and the results obtained were compared with the standard indicators and criteria for land degradation assessment according to (FAO 1979). The results showed that...
