    The relationship between soil and vegetation in an oil and gas polluted environment as revealed by regression analysis was investigated. This study was carried out in four different sites in Rivers State purposively selected for ease of accessibility. The study adopted field measurement for data collection. In each experimental sites, soils and vegetation samples were obtain from transects establish from the centre of the polluted area outward. The data was obtained in a 10 m by 10 m quadrats placed at regular of 50 m along the transect from the hydrocarbonimpacted area. A total of six Quadrat areas were sampled along each transect of 300 m in length making a total of 24 Quadrats. The soil and vegetation data were analyzed using multiple regression equation. The relationship between soil and vegetation around the polluted area was achieved through the multiple regression analysis. The.. View More»
