Opis:
Coastal areas in Anantigha are utilized as dumpsite for industrial and domestic wastes including effluent from local industries and inhabitants of the area despite their usage for crop cultivation. Thus, the present study was designed to assess the concentration, pollution load and ecological risk of heavy metal in Anantigha coastal area. Standard pollution indices such as contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination, pollution load index (PLI), enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and ecological risk index were deployed to assess the level of heavy metals contamination in the area. The results showed that the sediment was acidic under dried conditions and low in conductivity. The mean concentration levels of all the heavy metals were lower than their mean background values except for Al. The orders of dominance for concentration of heavy metals were: Al>Fe>Mn>Cu>Zn (Station 1) and Al>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu (Stations 2, 3 and 4). Analyzed data showed that the sediments in the area are contaminated with Al with Igeo result showing station 2 and 4 been moderately to heavily contaminated with Al while station 4 was heavily contaminated with aluminium. Station 1 had low degree of contamination, whereas station 2 and 4 had moderate degree of contamination, and station 3 showed considerable degree of contamination. The PLI result indicates unpolluted condition and the area were not enriched by the studied heavy metals as shown by EF values. Hence, the sediment in Anantigha coastal marine area was classified as having low ecological risk factor. However, the levels of these metals are not static; there is tendency for increase as a result of increased human input and activities. Hence, there is a need for regular soil testing.

Opis:
Soils derived from Awi sandstone formation in Awi, Akamkpa LGA of Cross River State, Nigeria were studied along a toposequence with a view to classifying them taxonomically, assessing their potentials and suggesting appropriate management strategies. Three profiles were dug at the crest, middle slope and lower slope of the landscape. The morphological properties of these soils: colour, soil structure, soil consistence, drainage, boundaries and root inclusions were recorded in the field. These soils were deep (>100 cm), with sandy loam surface texture over sandy clay to sandy clay loam subsurface textures. These soils had hues of 10 YR - 5 YR with sub angular blocky structure and a sticky consistence (wet) and bulk density of 1.0 - 1.7 g/cm3 with total porosity of 22 - 38 %. Soil reactions in H2O were acidic (pH 4.7- 5.8). These soils have Organic Carbon of 14.4 - 38.1 g/kg; total nitrogen 1.2 - 3.3 g/kg; available phosphorus 4.1- 8.3 mg/kg; exchangeable acidity (H+) 0.5 - 11.9 cmol/kg; Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) 2.0 - 6.0 cmol/kg and base saturation 20.0 - 52.5 %. The soils were classified according to the USDA Soil Taxonomy as Typic Kandiudults and correlated as Dystric Acrisols as per FAO- WRB for soil resources. It is recommended that soils fertility management practices should focus on reducing leaching of basic cations from the soils through mulching, planting of cover crops, crop rotation, adoptions of zero tillage as well as planting of acid tolerant crops and application of liming materials to reduce the strong acidity in these soils.
