  • Morphological Characteristics and Classification of Soils Derived from Diverse Parent Materials in Central Cross River State, Nigeria
    GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES VOL. 14, NO. 3, 2008: 271 - 277 271 COPYRIGHT (C) BACHUDO SCIENCES CO. LTD. PRINTED IN NIGERIA. 1SSN 1118-0579 MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CLASSIFICATION OF SOILS DERIVED FROM DIVERSE PARENT MATERIALS IN CENTRAL CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA M. E. NSOR and I. J. IBANGA (Received 5 October 2007; Revision Accepted 5 December 2007) ABSTRACT Variation in soil characteristics is usually a reflection of the difference in materials from which the soil was formed. This study sought to investigate the characteristics of soils formed on different parent materials with a view to classifying them. This study was carried out in selected soils derived from three major types of parent materials in central Cross River State, South Eastern Nigeria. A total of six (6) pedons were excavated, two (2) pedons in each of the identified parent materials. The parent materials were Sandstone-shale-siltstone intercalations. Basement complex and Basalt. The study indicated that soils derived from sandstone-shale-siltstone materials are characterized by ochric sandy loam and loamy sand epipedons with moderate medium sub-angular blocky structures. These soils are also light coloured with dominant hues of 7.5YR with hard to slightly hard and hard to very hard dry consistence at the surface and sub-soil respectively. Soils of basement complex are characterized by the possession of loamy sand epipedons with weak medium crumb and sub-angular blocky structures having predominantly dull yellowish brown and bright yellowish brown colours at the surface and sub-soils. The dry consistences of the surface soils are slightly hard while the sub-soils are hard to very hard.

  • Sborník Příspěvků Z Konference Pedologické Dny, Velké Bílovice, 2003
    PEDOGENEZE A KVALITATIVNÍ ZMĚNY PŮD V PODMÍNKÁCH PŘÍRODNÍCH A ANTROPICKY OVLIVNĚNÝCH ÚZEMÍ Bořivoj ŠARAPATKA a Marek BEDNÁŘ (Eds.) Sborník referátů z 11. pedologických dnů KOUTY NAD DESNOU, 20.–21. 9. 2006 Editoři © Bořivoj Šarapatka, Marek Bednář, 2006 1. vydání Olomouc 2006 ISBN 80-244-1448-1 2 ÚVOD Vážené kolegyně a kolegové, letošní již 11. pedologické dny jsme zasadili do horské oblasti mikro - regionu Jeseníky. Území, ve kterém strávíme dva jistě pěkné a přínosné dny, je velmi cenné přírodovědně. Na rozloze 740 km2 se zde nachází chráněná krajinná oblast Jeseníky. Na různorodém geologickém podloží se vyvinula unikátní společenstva rostlin a živočichů, která byla začleně- na do reprezentativní sítě zvláště chráněných území. Snad nejvýznamněj- ším maloplošným chráněným územím je známá NPR Praděd s takovým přírodním fenoménem, jakým je ledovcový kar Velké kotliny, který náleží botanicky k druhově nejbohatším lokalitám ve střední Evropě. Zájmové území mikroregionu není významné pouze z přírodo- vědného hlediska. Je i intenzivně zemědělsky a lesnicky obhospodařová- no. Od středověkého osídlení postupně docházelo k trvalému odlesňo- vání a zemědělskému využití území, vyšší polohy regionu zůstávaly bez trvalých sídel. Dnes na zemědělské půdě v oblasti dominují trvalé travní porosty. Nebylo tomu ale tak vždy, o čemž svědčí nejen hospodaření po druhé světové válce, ale i starší údaje např. z 19. století. Tehdy v jesenické oblasti tvořila orná půda více než 70 % z celkové půdy zemědělské (na- příklad v Loučné to bylo v roce 1900 74,8 %). O využití krajiny jak z pohledu zemědělského, tak lesnického bude pojednávat řada konferenčních příspěvků. Většinou budou prezentovat široký záběr týkající se nových poznatků o pedogenezi a kvalitativních změnách půd, a to jak v podmínkách přírodních, tak antropicky ovliv- něných území.

Significantly lower average temperatures in the scree profile were noted at the gorge bottom in both periods, meaning that the site in the lower part of the scree, near the bank of creek, was considerably colder and wetter compared to the warmer and drier site at upper part of the scree slope. Relatively high diversity of Collembola was observed at two fieldwork scree sites, where cold-adapted species, considered climatic relicts, showed considerable abundance. The gorge bottom, with a cold and wet microclimate and high carbon content even in the deeper MSS horizons, provided suitable environmental conditions for numerous psychrophilic and subterranean species. Ecological groups such as trogloxenes and subtroglophiles showed decreasing trends of abundance with depth, in contrast to eutroglophiles and a troglobiont showing an opposite distributional pattern at scree sites in both periods. Our study documented that in terms of soil and Citation: Jureková, N.; subterranean mesofauna, colluvial screes of deep karst gorges represent (1) a transition zone between Raschmanová, N.; Miklisová, D.; the surface and the deep subterranean environment, and (2) important climate change refugia.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TEULON, TERRY R. HITCHINGS, VICTOR F. EASTOP, NICHOLAS A. MARTIN, MURRAY J. FLETCHER, MARLON A. W. STUFKENS, PAMELA J. DALE, Daniel BURCKHARDT, THOMAS R. BUCKLEY, STEVEN A. TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

If you make mistakes at this step, the worst‐case scenario is that the system will not meet required health standards and put the public at risk of waterborne disease.

Although a large number of Collembolan specimens had been collected, only Entomobryomorpha species were given emphasis. From 44 different sampled localities of the province of Ordu, we recorded 6 families, 14 genera, and 28 species. Six of these species were previously recorded and 20 of them are new records for Turkey. The results were not surprising, considering that the sampled region had not been studied previously, quite like many habitats in Turkey. With our 20 new records (Entomobryomorpha), the grand total of the springtail fauna of Turkey is increased to 73 species. This represents an increase of almost 40% of the current list of known species. These numbers show us that the diversity of Collembola in Turkey is not thoroughly known and it is clear that numerous species remain undiscovered or undescribed.
