TL;DR: The Ebocha‐8 oil spillage may be responsible, at least in part, for the enhanced concentrations and paucity of variations in the metal concentrations of sampled plots, other factors such as the physicochemical characteristics of soils (e.g., soil pH and organic‐matter content) and relative mobility of these metals, as well as the intense rainfall and flooding that preceded the period of sampling, may also have contributed in part.

TL;DR: In this paper, major fertility indices -N, P, K, TOC and TOM contents -were examined against the backdrop of physico-chemical conditions of pH, temperature, moisture content and electrical conductivity of soils three months after oil spillage at Owaza in the Niger Delta region of Southern Nigeria.

TL;DR: Post‐impact assessment of an oil‐spill‐impacted site in Agbada west plain of the Niger Delta basin of Nigeria was carried out 13 months after recorded incidence of spillage, using empirical indices of reconnaissance and extractable hydrocarbon content to reveal lower species' numbers and diversity of surface and subterranean flora and fauna.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected from the Agbada oil field in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria 2 months after the recorded incidence of oil spillage using the grid sampling technique.

TL;DR: The environmental impact of the 1997 leakage of the high pressure crude-oil pipeline at Isiokpo in the Niger Delta in the southeast of Nigeria was evaluated, with particular reference to total organic carbon (TOC) and total organic matter (TOM) contents of soils within the vicinity of the oil spillage.
