Studying the macro- and microelement composition of the soils of the saline agrolandscape of the southern part of the Prichanovskaya depression, it was established that meadow-chernozem poorly saline sandy soil was formed in the eluvial position, and low-saline solonchikovy clayey soil in the bottom. Of macronutrients in them is dominated by silicon. Calcium is more than magnesium, especially in the soil horizons of the lower position. The content of trace elements in the soil of the lower position is 2-3 times higher than at the top due to their movement with surface and groundwater. The content of arsenic, barium, boron and strontium is several times higher than the MPC, which creates a difficult situation in the area, which must be considered in the production of agricultural products.

Sub-Soil Properties of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Sites in Parts of The Eastern Niger Delta, Nigeria by Nwankwoala HO in Open Access Journal of Environmental and Soil Science in Lupine Publishers

This study aims at assessing the subsurface soil properties of contaminated sites in parts of the Niger Delta with a view to providing basic data that would guide not only future development and construction in the region but in choosing remediation options for contaminated sites. Standard soil sampling and analytical methods were employed in the study. Soil moisture content values range from 5.2 to 97. 9 with spikes at Okrika OKR-CTRL and BM-CTRL probably due to shallow water table encountered at shallow depth of 2.0 m. While the average moisture level at contaminated sites was 20.08 while that of the control sites was 17. 85. The variation also suggests higher water retention potential of contaminated soils against normal clean soil which in essence will enhance contaminant persistence in the soil. The soil pH value for control sites tends to normal range i.e towards 7.0, while the values for impacted sites are slightly lower. Most samples had normal soil pH ranges except BM-SS1 which indicated acidic soil conditions with ranges of 4.5-5.8. Liquid Limit is higher for control samples than contaminated sites at Okrika, Ogu-Bolo, Bomu manifold and Norkpo while Liquid Limit value for impacted site at Sime is higher than the control site and similar for Nonwa sites.
