Description
Erosion in a country is the product of its geology, soils, relief, climate, and vegetation, but especially of the mutual interaction of these agencies. A map showing erosion therefore will not, as a rule, correspond with a map representing any one of the above features. Of these features, probably the one that affects erosion more than any other is the vegetation, its types and its presence or absence, A vegetation map of Nigeria is attached to this report.
