)> ABSTRACT This study intended to develop a model showing the influence of human population structure dynamics on forest biomass cover. By establishing the relationship between forest cover and human sub-populations, a regression model was generated for the prediction of the survival of Kartala forest. The Zero, Juvenile and Senior free as well as the interior equilibrium states of the model were obtained and analyzed for stability. Numerical simulations of the various model parameters were...

Abstract Due to increased global environmental challenges and its emerging problems, it is evidenced that decision-makers have realised that scientific knowledge alone is insufficient to solve them hence the knowledge of the local people often refered to as 1K is increasingly recognised as an important source of environmental management. The main objective of the study was to examine the influence of indigenous 1K in environmental management and the specific objectives were to identify the I...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the concentrations of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and five selected heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn and Cu) in water and soil at some selected auto-mechanic shops within the Accra Metropolis. In all 57 soil samples and 36 water samples were collected between December 2015 and February 2016 from eighteen (18) selected auto-mechanic workshops, three (3) hand-dug wells and two (2) control sites. The samples were extracted and analyzed for PAHs (naphthal...
ABSTRACT Crude oil spillage is a big threat to the soil fertility. Spillage occurs due to the pipeline rupture, and traffic accidents involving tankers. An investigation was carried to assess the effects of crude oil spillage on the physicochemical properties of soil in Nnagi-Ama, Niger Delta Nigeria. For this purpose soil samples were collected in the Nnagi-Ama, tested in a laboratory, and compared to non-polluted (control) soil sample. The pH values of the soil samples remained almost t...

ABSTRACT The study was conducted to establish the effects of quarrying on the environment using Tala, Machakos district as the case study in Kenya. Machakos district is found in the Eastern province of Kenya. It was intended to establish the extent to which quarrying has affected the environment in Tala. To examine what are the causes of quarrying and suggest the possible measures through which quarrying effects on the environment. Fifty (50) respondents were randomly selected and these incl...
ABSTRACT A study on assessing the impacts of agriculture on protected areas was carried out in Arusha National Park in Tanzania. The variables considered include identifying the factors influencing agriculture around Arusha National Park (ANAPA) and major type of agriculture activities carried out, examining the impacts of these activities on ANAPA and identify the effort of local community and NGOs and National Park Authority to address these effects of agricultural activities on ANAPA and ...
