The composition and distribution of flora species in wetlands are dependent upon several environmental variables and one of such is seasonality regimes. Seasonal gradients exert profound influence on seedling establishment, regeneration and reproduction of plant species. To this end, rural and urban wetlands were studied to assess the influence of seasonality gradients on phytodiversity richness. A ten 5m×5m quadrat was used to sample the vegetation for density of species with spacing at r...
Assessment of macrophyte abundance and water quality of three impacted inlet streams along Ikpa River Basin were investigated. A 5m x 5m quadrat through systematic sampling was used to sample the vegetation for density and frequency of species. Sediment and water samples were collected and analyzed using standard methods. From the results obtained, a total of 23 macrophyte species from 17 families were encountered. Stream 1 (Ntak Inyang 1) had 7 species, stream 2 (Ntak Inyang 2) had 13 specie...
Nutrient and waste inputs into wetlands have dire consequences on both soil and water quality and by extension dependent aquatic flora and fauna. Within this purview, heavy metal contamination was assessed in a rural and urban wetland in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Soil samples were analyzed for Pb, Zn, Fe, Ni and Cd using AAS. Results show marked variations of heavy metal concentrations within study area. Mean values of Fe (713.22 ± 59.39), Pb (5.95 ± 0.42), Zn (88.54 ± 8.03) and Cd (1.53 �...
