Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrates in water-stable aggregates and particle size fractions of forested and cultivated soils in two contrasting tropical ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated changes in storage and loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) when tropical forests are converted to cropland and for selecting appropriate sustainable soil management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Degradation-Induced Decline in Productivity of Sub-Saharan African Soils: The Prospects of Looking Downwards the Lowlands with the Sawah Ecotechnology

TL;DR: In this article, a lowland-based rice-production technology was proposed to cope with the situation of land degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa, with emphasis on soil erosion and its effect on soil quality and productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and mineralogical properties of soils in southeastern Nigeria in relation to aggregate stability
TL;DR: In this article, the major chemical and mineralogical properties of soils formed on sedimentary deposits in southeastern Nigeria to the stability of their aggregates at both the macro and micro (colloidal) levels were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical properties of soils of southeastern Nigeria and the role of some aggregating agents in their stability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the major intrinsic soil constituents that influence aggregate stability as well as evaluate the possibility of using the more easily determinable stability indices to assess the erodibility of these soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloidal stability in some tropical soils of southeastern Nigeria as affected by iron and aluminium oxides
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the extent of colloidal stability of the soils and the forms of Fe and Al oxides in the soils contributing to their stability, while oxalate and pyrophosphate extractable Fe (Feox, Fep) and to some extent total Al (Alt) were among the different forms of oxides that act as aggregating agents.
