GRANITIC-GNEISS DERIVED SOILS IN HUMID FOREST-TROPICAL SOUTHWESTEN NIGERIA I: GENESIS AND CLASSIFICATION

GRANITIC-GNEISS DERIVED SOILS IN HUMID FOREST-TROPICAL SOUTHWESTEN NIGERIA I: GENESIS AND CLASSIFICATION

The genesis of granitic-gneiss derived soil in the upland well drained area of humid tropical southwestern Nigeria was studied. The soils have thick (0-20cm dark brown ( (7.5YR - 10YR) coarse sandy loam to sandy clay loam - surface horizon, grading into sandy clay or clay in the subsoils. Presence o...
