Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and has highly diverse forest ecosystems. Unfortunately, this rich vegetation continues to decline at an alarming rate; 21% of its forest cover...
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
Consequently, three mostly flooded towns: Kisauni, Nyali and Changamwe in Mombasa were surveyed to access the role of indigenous knowledge in mitigating climate change induced flooding impacts on...
