The 104 communities shown on map of the metropolis constitute the units of data collection and analysis. Data sources used include high resolution satellite imagery of Ibadan metropolis for 2015. ARCGIS software was used to extract and measure at community level the green areas. A structured questionnaire addressing the socio economic characteristics of respondents was administered. Using a projected population for 2015 at 1,783, 367, the sampling size is estimated at 3,410 at the four sample percentages of (0.1% 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8%) respectively. Global Moran&apos;I analysis was used to assess the distributional pattern of green areas in Ibadan metropolis. Multiple correlation and geographically weighted regression analyses are used to determine the significant socio- economic variables that explain the spatial patterns of green spaces at a P &le; 0.05. The degree of influence of each significant variable is mapped across the metropolis. Results show a clustered distributional pattern of green spaces for 2015 (P = 0.000000). The clustered pattern of green spaces clearly demonstrates lack of environmental justice. There are significant relationships between green spaces and some of the socio- economic variables, notably, occupation (P = 0.001) and income (P = 0.002), which means they largely explain the spatial inequalities in the distribution of green spaces and their benefits and burdens.<#LINE#>Turner B.L., Clark W.C., Kates R.W., Richards J.F., Mathews J.T. and Meyer W.B.

Modeling and Forecasts have been performed using the ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) model. The predictions concern the next 50 years. The data have been subdivided into 13 groups corresponding to each month of the year and the 13th group is the annual average. Before the application of the ARIMA modeling, we performed linear regressions to have a general view of the trends. Results showed that the average annual temperature is strictly increasing with a linear growth rate of about 0.2&deg;C per decade. The mean of the average annual temperatures from 1961 to 2016 is 21.77&deg;C. Total annual rainfall trend shows a decrease of about 47.2 mm per decade. The mean of annual precipitation from 1961 to 2016 is 917.26mm. Concerning the ARIMA modeling, each of the time series corresponding to the 13 groups of data can be fitted in ARIMA form model(1,1,1)(1,1,1)^S. The seasonal part of the model was exploited to have a good description of the fluctuations and the value of S was chosen to obtain the best model for each series. Forecast for the next 50 years permits to predict a significant increase of the average annual temperature which is expected to be equal to 23.94&deg;C in 2066. The mean of the average annual temperatures between 2017 and 2066 is predicted to be equal to 22.8&deg;C. The forecast also shows a decrease of 22.19 % in the mean annual precipitation for the 50 next years compared to the average of the observation years. The dry season, from April to September, will be the most affected, with a deficit of up to 90%.  It is predicted that in 2066, the annual rainfall would be 470.18 mm against 605.9mm in 2016. The economic development of the Ihorombe region eventually requires strategies to deal with these future changes, especially in the water sector, which would be the most affected.<#LINE#>Vincent Duhem (2014).@Global warming: map of the 15 most endangered places in Africa.@.

The soil was analysed using sequential extraction procedure. Total phosphorus were ranged from 18893 mg/kg and 3268 mg/kg and Org-P was the dominant fraction which contributed about 89.2% of total P. Ion bound phosphorus (Fe-P) was the most important fraction among the inorganic P forms may be because of Fe-oxide, sulphate reduction. The study suggested that speciation of phosphorous (P) had good correlation among themselves. In addition, the various P fractions were increased during incubation period and these pools in turn supplement the SP thereby maintaining a high amount of P in the mangrove soil. At surface soils the pH and Eh exhibited stable values during inundation and the Eh dropped significantly from 98 to -215.1 mV, concurrently with pH increase to basic values (6.2-8.1). These results indicate that influence of electro chemical properties on phosphorus geochemistry in mangrove soil. The study concluded that quantifying the relation between P fractions in mangrove soils is required to realize the mangrove ecosystem in connection with human intervention.<#LINE#>Giri C., Ochieng E., Tieszen L.L., Zhu Z., Singh A., Loveland T. and Duke N.

Soil samples were taken out of four different locations and were analysed for total fungal count and soil physiochemical parameters for fourteen (14) days. The fungal count range from 8.0 x106 to 1.0x107 cfu/g for palm oil mill effluent polluted soil (POME) (also known as effluents from palm oil mill (EFPOM)) and 2.0x104 and 3.0x104  cfu/g  for free soil which served as the control (ofs). The pH, organic matter% as well as organic carbon%, nitrate, moisture contents% alongside phosphorus (ppm) analysed were found to be more in effluent contaminated soil (ECS) compared to the No-oil soil (NOS). Higher fungal count was recorded in the POME polluted soil when compared with oil free soil. The fungi isolated from the EPS were Aspergilus species, Fusarium species, Penicillium species, Geotrichum species, Trichoderma species and yeast. This work shows that the physico-chemical properties of soil contaminated with effluents from palm oil mill were altered by the effluents. The pH, organic matter, organic carbon, nitrate, moisture content and phosphorus content were more in ECS compared to NOS. This work shows further that the fungal counts in ECS was higher than NOS. This implies that fungi strive well in effluents from palm oil mill (EFPOM) and could efficiently use (EFPOM) as its food substrate. Therefore, fungi could be employed as a means of biodegrading and bioremediating soil contaminated with effluents from palm oil mill.<#LINE#>Choo W.C., Lee W.W., Venkatraman V., Sheu F.S. and Chee M.W.

College, Kushtia, Bangladesh@Department of Applied Nutrition and Food Technology, Islamic University, Kushtia-7003, Bangladesh<#LINE#>7/9/2018<#LINE#>3/12/2018<#LINE#>The present study has been carried out to investigate the effects of industrial pollution and seasonal changes on physicochemical and biological parameters of surface water from November 2014 to May 2018 of Bangladesh Small Cottage Industry Corporation (BSCIC), Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Three different water body sites indicated as spot-I, spot-II, and spot-III of BSCIC were selected owing to the proximity of the wastes thrown by the industries. Spot-I is a drain which is connected to the central drainage system of BSCIC. Spot-II is a pond which receives wastes only during the rainy season whereas Spot-III is a large canal and is connected to the two main drainage systems of Rajshahi City Corporation. Water samples were collected at monthly intervals from a depth of 20-30 cm below the surface from the study sites. Water quality parameters viz., physical (air and water temperature, transparency of water), chemical (pH, dissolved oxygen, HCO3 alkalinity and free CO2, total hardness, Ca- and Mg-hardness, total phosphate and nitrate, percent of saturation of oxygen, redox potential (Eh), BOD5 and COD), and biological (phytoplankton and zooplankton, and total coliform bacteria) of the sites were evaluated. Pearson correlations analysis was used to find out the relationships among physical, chemical and biological parameters during all periods investigated. Anoxic conditions were found at spot-II and -III. The most important parameters of pollution like hardness, BOD5, COD and coliform counts were higher at spot-I and -III compared to spot-II. Therefore, this study reveals that spot-I and -III were highly polluted compared to spot-I where moderate levels of pollution were observed.<#LINE#>Knopf A.

These OBDs are highly acidic and low in organic carbon, nutritional status and microbial activity. The natural process of re-establishment of vegetation on the OBDs is very slow. However, research works indicated that application of microbial including arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), lime and organic amendments (FYM) can enhance plant growth on OBDs. Application of natural forest topsoil could stimulate plant growth through improvement of microbial activity in the inert OBDs.<#LINE#>Singh J.S. and Jha A.K.
