  • Roadside Plant Diversity and Soil Analysis in Uyo Sub-Urban Environment Akwa Ibom State Nigeria
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 8, Issue 11, November-2017 1098 ISSN 2229-5518 Roadside Plant Diversity and Soil Analysis in Uyo Sub-urban Environment Akwa Ibom State Nigeria ⃰Bassey, M. E., Ogbemudia, F.O., Ezekiel, A.G and Abdulkrareem, M 1 Department of Botany and Ecological Studies, University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract: A study on roadside plant diversity and soil analysis in Uyo sub-urban environment was carried out using systematic sampling method. A quadrat of 5m x 5m was used to sample the vegetation spaced at regular intervals. The vegetation parameters determined were density and frequency. Soil samples were collected at different depths (0 – 15 cm and 15 – 30 cm) and analysis done using standard methods. From the results, 42 plant species were found along Abak road, 38 species along Etinan road and 45 species along Idoro road. Variations in vegetation parameters such as density and frequency were observed in the different routes as an attribute of the soil parameters. The soil- vegetation relationships within the study areas were proven using bivariate correlation method and these were significant at P = 0.05. Biodiversity indices revealed that Idoro road had high Shannon Weigner index value of (3.38) and Simpson’s value of (0.96). Dominance values across the study areas were relatively low with values ranging between 0.04 and 0.06. Equitability value was highest in Etinan road (0.90) and least in Abak road (0.87). Low values ranging from 0.28 to 0.33 were obtained for Sorenson’s similarity index across the study areas.
