“…The pH in the soils of the three sites ranges from 4.2 to 5.6. Furthermore, these values are similar to those obtained in the Yaoundé and Ebolowa soils, with values between 3.5 and 5.8 [15,31]. The acidity of a soil is due to a very slow evolution dominated by three major processes: biological activity, dissolution of rocks, soils and drainage [32].…”

Mbalmayo is a medium city in Cameroon facing several problems including urban waste management. These wastes are sometimes incorporated into the urban soil due to a deficient collection system. The purpose of this study was to assess the concentrations of Trace Metals (TMEs) in soils intensively used for agriculture. Soil samples from three sites were analyzed for environmental physical chemistry and by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS). Some indices, including the enrichment factor (EF), the Geo-Accumulation Index (Igeo) and the Pollution Index (PI) were calculated to reflect the intensity of the contamination risk. The results for Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb) and Zinc) Zn concentrations showed values of 0.

“…As a big country in marine aquaculture, large-scale aquaculture has brought adverse effects on the health of benthic habitats in coastal waters. Therefore, in order to accurately monitor the health status of large water ecosystems of typical aquaculture types, an attempt was made to evaluate the health of large water ecosystems with the standardized fuzzy comprehensive evaluation biological index method [2].…”

The river ecosystem plays an important role in the material energy cycle in nature and the survival and development of human beings. With the development of human social production and the increasing impact on the environment, the health of rivers has attracted global attention. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the health status of large-scale aquaculture aquatic ecosystems based on the standardized method of fuzzy comprehensive biological index evaluation. Assessment of the health of aquaculture-type large aquatic ecosystems using the Bioindices method. The comparison of evaluation results shows that the waters P-IBI score calculated by the quadrant method is between 20-34, and the waters P-IBI score calculated by the third method is between 12-25. The situation is relatively consistent, so the quartile method is more suitable for evaluating the aquatic ecological health of aquaculture waters.
