We combine a new map on forest regrowth with food consumption panel data from over 1100 households—and use a combination of regression and weighting analyses to generate quasi-experimental ...
Specific Vegetation Zones in Nigeria. Vegetation usually depends on the climate zones of the country. Vegetation belts in Nigeria reflect the tight link between the vegetation and the country’s climate: Rainforest; Fresh Water Swamp; Sahel Savanna; Short Grass Savanna; Guinea Savanna; Woodland; Marginal Savanna; Mangrove; Montane; Sudan Savanna
... also identified multiple/intercropping, agro-forestry/afforestation, mulching, purchase/harvest of water for irrigation, among others as some of the climate change adaptation strategies...
218 Environmental Conservation Fig. 1. Sketch-map showing the distribution of established conservation areas ( Strict Natural Reserves) in Nigeria. age - and by biotic factors. The distribution of vegetation depends chiefly on the fact that the climate tends to become drier with increasing distance from the sea.
Climate (particularly rainfall) has an important influence on the distribution of vegetation in Nigeria. There are ten main vegetation zones (Udo, 1970): the Sahel, Sudan and Northern Guinea zones. Jos Plateau, Montane forest and grassland, Rain forest, Oil palm bush, Southern Guinea zone, Swamp and Mangrove forest.
3.1 Geographical location, relief, climate, soils and Vegetation of Nigeria. The Federal Republic of Nigeria (henceforth referred to as Nigeria), is located on the West coast of Africa between latitudes 3°15’ to 13°30’ N and longitudes 2°59’ to 15°00’ E (Figure 1).
