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
A global map of habitat types as defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Potential Natural Vegetation. This map shows estimated vegetation cover that would be expected - given environmental constraints - in the absence of human impact. Human impact on forests.
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. The operative factors affecting the distribution
