Abstract

The concentrations of trace metals (mg/kg) in three eroded environments (A, B, C) and a control site (U) in Yelwan Tudu Bauchi, Bauchi State Nigeria were analyzed. The levels of metals, including Na, Ca, Mg, K, N, P Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn in both eroded and uneroded soil Samples were measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The soil samples were obtained at a depth of 0-30 cm and were thouroughly homogenized to obtain a composite sample for each site and was analyzed using standard procedure. Significant differences in metal concentrations were found across the sites A, B,C and control site, as shown by one-way ANOVA and least significant difference (LSD) tests.
