Introduction The Nigerian land area stretches over 983,213 km 2 with 78.7% in the savanna zone, 7.7% in the derived savanna zone and 13.6% in the rainforest zone.
We used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), gross primary productivity (GPP), and leaf area index (LAI) to describe the vegetation dynamic in the upper and middle reaches of...
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
Nigeria has a total land area of 923,768 km ², with highly variable land cover, including tropical rainforest, Sahelian savannah, mountain plateaus and coastal plains. The country has diverse and complex vegetation types with contiguous ecological zones.
The Nigerian terrain is quite varied but except perhaps, in a few areas of rugged hills or extreme water logging (Figure 1 & 2), it does not constitute a major constraint to man's social and ...
