comprehensive estimation and mapping of vegetation encompassing forest and rangeland in the Southwest Nigeria. Mapping vegetation with precision is a crucial task for managing nature, and it also plays an imperative role in different protection and restoration programs. Vegetation
MAPPING NIGERIA'S VEGETATION FROM RADAR. D. E. PARRY AND J. W. TREVETT. The national requirement of a reliable assessment of forest cover and timber resources in Nigeria underlay the initiation in 1976 of a comprehensive forest survey.
