Hence, we investigated the extent of variation in altitude, light intensity and sunlight duration existing in four contrasting habitats dominated by Phymatosorus scolopendria in relation to fern foliar anatomical dynamics using standard anatomical procedures and ecological protocol. The species consistently possessed diacytic and anisocytic stomata  across the habitats  whereas anomocytic stomata were also found in the shrub epiphytes. Similarly, unicellular  trichomes were consistently  present in epiphytic plant forms while oil droplets were consistent throughout except in  the tree epiphytes. Also, the stomatal  index and number of stomata differed significantly (P<0.05) and were highest in  the epiphytes growing on the tree barks  (17.337±3.00; 14.33±1.154) but least in the erect forms (12.875±1.10;  8.67±0.577) respectively. The lithophytes recorded  highest number of epidermal cells (76.67±15.280) whereas the erect  forms recorded the least (46.33±4.041). Altitude varied  between 8.23 to 10.36 m; light intensity ranged between 1045 to  13088 lux while sunlight duration ranged from 2 to 8  hours/day. Correlation analysis revealed significant (P<0.05 and  P<0.01) coefficients. Specifically, altitude indicated strong  positive association with light intensity (r= 0.987* ) and  sunlight duration (r= 0.990**) while light intensity correlated strongly  with sunlight duration (r= 0.958). The stomatal  types were strongly associated with altitude (r=0.679), light intensity (r=  0.769) and sunlight duration (0.570) while  stomatal index correlated inversely with altitude (r= - 0.505) and sunlight duration  (r= - 0.553). Implicitly, shady habitats  with short durations of low light intensity induced higher stomatal development and  density while prolonged sunlight  duration and increasing light intensity retained low stomatal density in this plant. This  pattern indicates a close  association between species anatomical progression in relation to prevailing environmental  conditions. This  information reveals aspects of plant survival mechanism in different environmental scenarios and may aid  future  conservation efforts.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139215842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dalium guineense (DG) is a wild fruit with epicarp that could be broken accidentally or intentionally during harvest or in  the course  of processing. This research attempts to develop a model for classification of DG fruits into whole fruits and  deshelled fruits each with fifteen physical characteristics (Length (l), width (w), thickness (t), geometric mean diameter,  arithmetic mean  diameter, specific mean diameter, equivalent mean diameter, surface area, aspect ratio, surface area, sphericity, unit mass,  lw (product of length and width), lt (product of length and thickness) and wt (product of width and thickness)) using a machine learning approach. A 15-3-2 Neural Network (NN) architecture was used to develop the classification model. The deshelled fruits were all correctly classified while 95 of the whole fruits were correctly classified with 5 of the fruits misclassified. The result shows that the classification model was able to achieve an accuracy of 97.5%, sensitivity of 100%, and precision of 95.2%. Increasing the number of processing elements in the hidden processing layer of the NN contributed no positive effect on the performance of the model. This model is therefore suitable for classification purpose, leading to appropriate processing and handling of DG with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139219824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research is to assess the activity concentration level and determine the transfer factor of radionuclide from soil to cassava in Ethiope Local Government Area of Delta state, Nigeria. The activity concentration of 40K, 238U and 232Th in soil and cassava samples collected from the study area were analysed using gamma spectrometry. A lead-shielded 3 x 3 inch coaxial type Sodium Iodide Thallium [NaI(TI)] doped detector crystal (Model No. 802 series, Canberra Inc.) coupled to a Canberra series multichannel Analyzer (MCA) (Model N0.1104) through a preamplifier was used. The results of the activity concentration in soil samples indicate that, 40K has the highest mean activity concentration ((38.66 ± 3.69) BqKg−1) with the highest value ((62.47 ± 5.67) BqKg−1) recorded at E2. The mean activity concentrations of 238U and 232Th are 3.65 ± 0.90 BqKg−1 and 0.46 ± 0.05 BqKg−1respectively. The peak values of 238U and 232Th are 5.07 ± 1.17 BqKg−1 and 0.98 ± 0.11 BqKg−1. From cassava, 40K varies from 75.06 to 200.08 BqKg−1 with the highest mean activity concentration of 99.62 ± 8.32 BqKg−1 and 200.08 ± 14.90 BqKg−1 as the highest value noted at C5. The mean activity concentrations of 238U and 232Th are 3.89 ± 0.93 BqKg−1 and 0.81 ± 0.09 BqKg−1 respectively. The maximum values of 238U and 232Th determined from the computation from cassava samples are 11.10 ± 2.48 BqKg−1 and 1.70 ± 0.18 BqKg−1. The results of this study show that the activity concentration of 40K, 238U and 232Th in the study area are lower than world average values of 420, 30 and 35 BqKg-1 in soil and cassava respectively, and it is therefore not harmful if consumed. The mean transfer factor of 40K, 238U and 232Th from soil to cassava are 3.12 ± 0.44, 0.95 ± 0.31 and 2.96 ± 0.91 respectively. The range of values of 40K, 238U and 232Th varied as 1.41 to 5.82, BDL to 2.98 and 0.21 to 9.35 correspondingly. Peak values of the TF were noted as 5.82 for 40K at E8, C8, 2.98 for 238U at at E9, C9 and 9.35 for 232Th at E9, C9. The high value of TR is accredited to the richness of the organic matter in the soil. The quick recycling of natural radionuclides through the soil-cassava suggests the presence of an internal cycling that help the build-up of the natural radionuclides.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139217898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims to study the phosphate sorption characteristics of five agricultural soils in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The phosphate adsorption isotherm was obtained by shaking each soil sample with 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 mgL–1 for 24 h with 20 mL of KH2PO4 in 0.01 M CaCl2 solution. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Van Huay and Temkin isotherms were applied to study the PO43-sorption characteristics of the soil samples. The Freundlich model provided the best choice for phosphate sorption with mean R2 value of 0.9872. Results obtained for the phosphate sorbed (µg g–1soil) with 120 mgL-1 solution, heterogeneity factor of adsorption sites (nF), and the Freundlich constant (KF) (Lg–1) were 101(84.3), 0.515 and 7.355 for Onna soil; 62.8(52.3), 0.641 and 2.464 for Ikot-Amama 2; 60.6(50.5), 0.708 and 3.985 for Ogu-Itumbonuso soil; 59.3(49.5), 0.652 and 2.505 for Ikot-Amama 1 soils; 58.0(48.3), 0.704 and 3.682 for Ikot-Nkon soils, respectively. The equilibrium concentration for phosphates (EC-P) were used as desorption index to determine whether the soils could serve as potential sources for their bioavailability to plants and results ranged from 5.0 to 9.90 mgL–1, indicating high vulnerability to phosphate loss. The relationship between phosphate sorption parameters and soil physicochemical properties showed that the Freundlich adsorption intensity factor, nF, strongly correlated negatively with organic carbon and organic matter (r = -0.953 and -0.947; P<0.01), Fe and Mn (r = -0.911 and -0.812, P<0.05).

Understanding the impacts of land use conversion from natural forests to plantations on carbon sequestration and storage is critical for sustainable land and forest management. In this study, tree-based carbon sequestration and storage abilities were assessed in natural and plantation forest ecosystems. Four plots within a natural forest and cashew orchard were randomly chosen and four belt transects were established. In each plot, tree species were identified and their density, height, Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) enumerated and measured, respectively. In each plot, litter boxes were placed to collect litter weekly. Soils (at 0 -15 cm and 15 – 30 cm) within each plot were obtained with soil auger. AGB (aboveground biomass), BGB (belowground biomass), AGC (aboveground carbon) and BGC (belowground carbon) were calculated using allometric equations for pan moist and dry tropical forest. Twenty-three and eleven tree species were found in the forest and orchard, respectively. The forest had the largest total biomass allocation (188.61 Mg ha-1) and carbon stock (146.89 Mg C.ha-1) while the orchard had the least total biomass apportionment (37.20 Mg ha-1) and carbon stock (45.60 Mg ha-1). The forest ecosystem had the largest sequestration ability (593.04 Mg CO2ha-1) which followed this trend: aboveground (295.18 Mg CO2ha-1) > belowground (60.51 Mg CO2ha-1) > soils (133.73 Mg CO2ha-1) > litter (49.62 Mg CO2ha-1) while cashew orchard had the least sequestration ability (167.37 Mg CO2ha-1) which followed this order: soil (99.09 Mg CO2ha-1) > litter (35.75 Mg CO2ha-1) > aboveground (27.00 Mg CO2ha-1) > belowground (5.53 Mg CO2ha-1).

Accordingly, the status of phytodiversity and pedological properties were assessed in a tropical forest fragment namely Mkpok Village Forest (MVF) in Akwa Ibom State (AKS). This was with a view to providing insights into its environmental determinants; as well as baseline for the management and conservation of the forest fragment. Systematic sampling method was used to sample the vegetation using a quadrat size of 10 m x 10 m. The frequency, density, height, basal area and crown cover of plant species encountered were determined. Twelve composite soil samples were collected and analyzed for pedological properties (soil pH, texture and chemical constituents) using standard analytical procedures. Forty-two plant species belonging to thirty families were encountered. Family Fabaceae had the highest number of 6 plant species followed by Meliaceae, Arecaceae, and Euphorbiaceae with 3 plant species each. The tallest and shortest tree species were Piptadeniastrum africanum (22.91 ± 2.33 m) and Cannarium schweinfurthii (2.00 ± 0.51 m). Shannon-Wiener and Simpson diversity indices of 2.88 and 0.90 were recorded respectively. Pedological analyses revealed that in MVF the soils were moderately acidic and highly sandy, having low concentrations of some plant nutrients. Correlation analysis indicated relationships between some vegetation parameters and soil chemical constituents (p=0.05). It is concluded that the forest was not structurally complex as expected of a tropical rainforest partly due to anthropogenic activities but possessed attributes of a typical rainforest of Nigeria thus reinforced the hope that this forest fragment if preserved can return to its primary status.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114728190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
