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 objectives of this work were to identify the best possible method to estimate soil
erodibility (K) and understand the influencing factors of soil erodibility. In this study, 151 soil …

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 …

Land degradation was a significant global issue during the 20th century and remains of high
importance in the 21st century as it affects the environment, agronomic productivity, food …

Some physical properties of the soils under different management systems were determined
along a soil catena of three soil series found in Eastern Nigeria. The objective was to …

Knowledge of clay dispersion behaviour [which is highly influenced by ion concentration in
the aqueous phase and by related surface charge (SC) of colloids] is important for rating soil …

The stability of some highly weathered soils of the tropics is controlled by their organo-
mineral substances. Highly weathered soils from 10 different locations were sampled from …
