Geochemical distribution of major and trace elements in hydromorphic soil profiles developed on recent alluvium
Geochemical composition and distribution of major elements study is vital in terms of investigating the major soil forming compounds and to know the fate of trace elements in soils. Particle size distribution (PSD), pH, organic carbon (OC), and major and trace elements of hydromorphic soils formed on recent alluvium in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun state, Nigeria were analysed using standard procedures. Three profiles pits were dug based on the mapping units identified, and samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Data were subjected descriptive statistics and Pearson’ correlation coefficients using IBM SPSS version 27. The PSD was dominated by sand content, followed by clay and silt, and soil pH in KCl was strongly acid (3.17–4.30) and pH in H2O was moderately acid (4.74–5.80), while OC contents were low to moderate (1.22–6.69 g/kg). The major elemental results showed higher concentration of SiO2 (>50 %) connotes presence quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals. Manganese, Cu, Ba, Zr, and Zn have higher concentrations among the trace elements. Major elements ratios (SiO2/Al2O3, K2O/Al2O3) showed moderate weathering stage, while trace elements ratios (Ni/Co and Cu/Zn) revealed deposition under humid conditions and anoxic environment. The statistical analysis revealed that most elements have skewness closed to zero except MgO and K2O. Correlation coefficients between the elements are positive and significant (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) indicating that their presence can be accounted for by similar lithology, though some have negative relationship which could be as a result of anthropogenic activities. The study found that elements were potential tracers for the presence of human activities and environmental changes.
期刊介绍:
Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment.
Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
