Abstract:

Soil erosion is one of the prominent features in southern Nigeria, especially in Anambra and Imo States and has destroyed roads, homes and farmlands. In Oko community of Anambra State, landslides have added to the misery of the community. While government responsiveness is growing compelling, it is important to galvanise community initiatives. In this respect, many government apparatuses worldwide have increased obligations to develop frameworks for minimum formal opportunities for the public to talk their way through. This expository paper captures the causes, and consequences of erosion in A

Abstract:

Gully erosion represents one of the most severe environmental challenges facing Southeastern Nigeria, a region marked by heavy rainfall, erodible soils, and rapid urbanization. This paper investigates the causes, consequences, and potential solutions for gully erosion in the region, focusing on its impact on agriculture, infrastructure, and local communities. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, field surveys, and interviews with local stakeholders, this research explores both the natural and human-induced factors driving erosion, the social and economic consequences, and the

Erosion monitoring can range from small-scale, localized initiatives on a farm to large-scale regional or national monitoring programme. It is essential for encouraging the wise management of natural resources and sustainable land use. It is necessary to safeguard water quality, preserve soil fertility, preserve the stability of infrastructure and landscapes, and protect the environment. The Monitoring and Prediction of water quality are important in erosion management. Time series analysis was used in the monitoring of Erosion.

Zimbabwe has been experiencing widespread land degradation, soil erosion, increasing aridity and temperatures that, coupled with population growth, pose a menace to agricultural production and prospective food security. As a win-win strategy, conservation agriculture (CA) is being promoted across the country with the objective to restore damaged ecosystems, curb and revert environmental depletion and guarantee food security. Binga district, where smallholders’ cropland expansion has been identified as the main driver of deforestation, has been one of the first recipient of CA-supporting projec

Le sous-bassin versant (SBV) d’Agoudal est la partie amont de la vallée d’Imilchil relevant de la province de Midelt et la région de Draa-Tafilalet au Sud-Est du Maroc. Il s’étale sur la tranche altitudinale asylvatique du Haut Atlas central, allant de 2400 à plus de 3150 m. Ce sont des écosystèmes fragiles dont les sols sont peu arables et peu protégés, à haut risques d’érosion. Ils sont dans un stade très avancé de dégradation, sous l’effet de l’action de l’Homme, des facteurs écologiques, aggravés par les changements climatiques.

Abstract:

Land is the platform upon which every activity of man takes place. Especially in urban areas, man’s activities are many and they struggle for the limited available space. To curtail the rate of chaos and ensure compatibility among the various uses that land is put to, the activation of control mechanism becomes necessary. This study was undertaken to identify the various issues that come with development control in urban areas using Uyo Capital City as a case study. Data for the study were obtained from the staff of Uyo Capital City Development Authority and some identified property developers

The menace of gully erosion is quite alarming on soils of coastal plain sands of southeastern Nigeria. Consequent upon this, a study was conducted to determine effect of Gully Categories, gully slope position and soil depth affect soil properties on coastal plain sand, Akwa Ibom State, Southeastern Nigeria. The study was conducted in nine (9) gully erosion sites. The gullies were grouped into three broad categories based on their dynamics namely, Active gullies, Meta stable gullies and Stabilized/old gullies at three Gully slope positions of upper slope, middle slope and Lower Slope with a con

Coastal zones are the epicenter of economic activities in most developing countries in the world hence are bound to change. With advancement in technology, monitoring degradation of coastal zones using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) has become a critical subject for scientific research. RS refers to the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft) while GIS is a system that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data.

In Nigeria, like many developing nations, the resultant effect of land degradation: aggravated soil erosion, flood disasters, salinization or alkalisation, and the desertification have been a major public health concern for the past decades, however this study highlighted some of the factors that leads to the menace of soil fertility. The study was conducted at a gemstone mining site in Ijero Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-15 cm top soil and 0-30 cm subsoil. A line transect of 20 cm was drawn and soil sample was collected, all samples were kept in

Abstract:

The traditional retail landscape in Indian metropolises has changed significantly in the last several decades, mostly due to the modern retail economy's growth, including corporate chain stores and e-commerce sites. Small merchants have been gradually displaced as a result of this paradigm shift, which has been exacerbated by changed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) laws that have brought significant money into the Indian market, as well as a rise in consumer disposable income and the wave of digitalization. This study explores small merchants' consequences as they contend with the growing powe
