Abstract

Organic carbon availability is crucial for effective soil capability, suitability, and fertility potentials, which makes it a serious consideration among all soil parameters in the evaluation of soil nutrient availability and general carbon sequestration. This research article explored an appraisal of soil organic carbon content availability across diverse vegetation covers in Delta State, Southern Nigeria, including lowland rainforests, secondary regrowth, and wet grasslands. The study aimed to establish whether significant differences exist in organic carbon availability across the landscapes to determine soil suitability for functional utilitarian purposes. The methodology adopted was strictly a field survey where soil samples were collected in situ across the three different landscapes at depths of 0-15 cm (not meters), which is the zone of nutrient uptake and activity. A total of 90 samples, with 30 collected from each landscape, were drawn based on systematic stratification. The one-way ANOVA revealed no significant difference in soil organic carbon content across the studied landscapes (p = 0.54, p > 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. This indicates that the landscapes share similar soil fertility and nutrient availability, supporting their equal suitability for agricultural uses, particularly for arable crop production and precision farming in wet grasslands.

Abstract

The paper focuses on environmental modification resulting from urban hazardous ecological impact induced by humans who are the most potent and fundamental agents of environmental alteration, exponential population growth, industrialization, poor sanitary conditions and general environmental depletion activities, thereby contributing to the decline of environmental quality. Thus, advancing mitigation and adaptation strategies to ameliorate environmental degradation. To provide an in- depth analysis of the subject matter, literature was reviewed while situating the research on a conceptual framework based on environmental possibilism, determinism and carrying capacity. Human activities which are the major ecological transformation agent in the urban area, can also be measured in terms of the biologically productive natural resources (land, water, air soils and the biologically active sphere). The study therefore recommends that social impact assessment, as well as environmental impact assessment, must be carried out to regulate man’s activities to mitigate environmental decline. These measures will safeguard, protect and conserve the environment and improve its quality to forestall indiscriminate damage.

Abstract

This study explores the functional potential of hydric soils located in the lowlands and wetlands of Delta State, Southern Nigeria. Often dismissed due to seasonal inundation and persistent saturation, hydric soils develop under anaerobic conditions that limit oxygen availability. Despite these constraints, such soils exhibit significant levels of organic matter and fertility that could be optimized for agricultural use, especially within the context of sustainable land management and environmental conservation. A field survey method was employed, involving the collection of ninety (90) soil samples—thirty (30) each from three stratified zones representing lowland and wetland environments across the Delta State. These samples were subjected to detailed laboratory analyses to determine their physicochemical properties. The resulting data were statistically analyzed to identify patterns in soil fertility, nutrient content, and suitability for cultivation. Results indicated a consistent presence of organic matter and similar nutrient availability across the studied landscapes, comparable to those in forest and fallow lands. This similarity supports the argument that lowland and wetland soils, though often underutilized, can serve as viable alternatives to conventional arable lands. Their utilization may reduce reliance on rainforest areas and promote ecological balance. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of re-evaluating hydric soils for agricultural purposes. Leveraging their potential could support precision agriculture, reduce soil degradation, and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12 and 13 related to responsible consumption and climate action. Thus, hydric soils represent both a challenge and an opportunity in modern land use planning.
