The sustained interest in soil erosion research is an indication of both its importance and the
lack of definite solutions that can halt its negative impacts on the environment. This study …

The variability of soil properties related to vegetation cover in Nnewi, a fast growing urban-
industrial town, was studied to underscore the factors that predispose the soil to erosion …

In many parts of Africa, where regional mapping of soil erosion risk or related land-use
planning exercises take place, existing soil maps are the only sources of information …

The objective of this study was to relate the major chemical and mineralogical properties of
soils formed on sedimentary deposits in southeastern Nigeria to the stability of their …

Water dispersible clay (WDC) can influence soil erosion by water. Therefore, in highly
erodible soils such as the ones in eastern Nigeria, there is a need to monitor the clay …

The countries of sub-Saharan Africa are besieged by serious environmental degradation
resulting in desert encroachment, draught and soil erosion due to either wind impact or very …

Soil degradation such as soil erosion by water is directly linked to water-dispersible clay
(WDC) in the soil. Ten locations in an Ultisol in southeastern Nigeria were sampled for …

The use of empirical models for predicting erosion hazard in Africa is widespread. One of the
most commonly used models is the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). This paper …

Soil erosion has serious off-site impacts caused by increased mobilization of sediment and
delivery to water bodies causing siltation and pollution. To evaluate factors influencing soil …

Soil aggregate stability influences a wide range of physical and biogeochemical processes
in the agricultural and natural environments, including soil erosion [3]. The relative prepon …
