Land Capability Classification, Fertility Mapping And Pedodiversity Of Soils Over Coastal Plain Sands Of Abia State, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
Land capability classification is a broad grouping of
soils based on their limitations as a guide to assess land suitability for arable
crops, grazing and forestry (Dent and Young, 1981). There is need for the
provision of more infrastructural facilities like good roads, stadia, markets, hospitals,
schools, housing estates, airports and so on with creation of new states and
local government areas. However, demographic pressures as a result of increasing
urbanization and ecological problems especially gully erosions have contributed
immensely to the diminishing of agricultural lands. As a result of the
diminishing of agricultural lands, there is a pressing need to match land types
and land uses in the most rational ways so as to maximize sustainable
production and satisfy the diverse needs of society while also conserving the
fragile ecosystems.
