The Adada River is among the essential rivers in Enugu State which rural dwellers depend on water supply and agriculture farmlands situated beside its channels. Current research was undertaken to ascertain the extent of lethal metals (Co, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb, As and Fe) pollution in soils from the Adada River bank. Fifteen topsoil (0 cm), subsoil (5 cm) and deep-soil (10 cm) samples were gathered from the downstream, midstream and upstream of the river. The results revealed that the average...

Abstract Global climate change is gradually changing species distribution and their patterns of diversity. Yet, factors that influence the local distribution and habitat preferences for southern African species remain largely unexplored. Here, we computed the suitable habitats in the southern African region for Colophospermum mopane (Benth.) using the maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling approach. We utilized one Global Circulation Model (GCM) and three Representative concentration pathways...
