Characterization And Classification Of Soils Of A Toposequence In A Derived Savannah Agroecological Zone Of Nigeria
The anisotropic nature of soils makes it imperative to study the associations of soils and regional landscapes for sustainable nutrient management, land use planning and management, and soil profile is an important tool which can be utilized for this purpose. A field study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between topography and soil morphological, physical and chemical characteristics. Three slope classes were considered and a total of three profile pits, one on each slope class, were studied and described in the field morphologically at Eleyin farms Omu-aran Kwara State, Nigeria, which was a newly opened up plantation. Soil samples were collected from identified genetic horizons o
