Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Microbial and Heavy Metal Contents in Soils and Roots under Mangrove Forest Stands with Different Levels of Pollution in the Niger River Delta, NigeriaAroloye Ofo NumbereOil and gas exploration in the Niger Delta, has resulted to increased heavy metal contamination. It is thus postulated that increased heavy metal will lead to decreased microbial content in soil and root. To test this hypothesis ten replicates each of soil and root samples were collected from already established sites. Samples were sent to the laboratory for analyses of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLong-Term Changes in Mangrove Landscape of the Niger River Delta, NigeriaPing Wang, Aroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloThe Niger Delta mangrove is the third largest in the world and the largest in Africa. Since the 1960s oil and gas exploration has become an important economic activity, resulting in significant alteration of the landscape via pollution, urbanization and invasion. Landsat images of six different years (1984, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2007) were used to determine land cover … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
