Traces of German and British settlement in soils of the Volta Region of Ghana.
Original language description
Can less than a hundred years of past settlement activities in former European settlements substantially increase the concentration of elements and result in the formation of African Dark Earth soil is a question not addressed. We performed multielement analysis of Africa Dark Earth soil from a late 19th to mid 20th century CE former German Togoland settlement, Ziavi Galenkuito in the Volta Region, Ghana. Relatively neutral reaction and black color of soil mainly from charcoal inclusion in the settlement site contrasted highly with moderately acidic brown Ferric Acrisol in the control located on the same metasedimentary Voltaian bedrock. Organic C and total N, P, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Sr and Rb concentrations were substantially increased and vice versa for the C N ratio in the 0 to 40 cm layer of the settlement soil compared to the control without settlement activities. The concentrations of plant available P, K, Ca, S, Fe, Cu and Zn were higher in the settlement soil in comparison to the control. T
