This book explores the impacts of climate change on Nigeria. How
climate change impacts the productivity and future development of
different sectors in Nigeria was covered in this book. Various
themes of the Nigerian economy, environment, and climate change
were considered. Worthy of note are the impacts of climate change
on the Nigerian air quality, surface and groundwater resources,
watershed and natural resources’ development and planning, soil-
quality, fertility, salinization, nutrients and cropping patterns.
Also, the impact of climate change on land use/land cover,
urbanization and strategic planning, crops and sustainable crop
yield; land degradation, soil erosion, landslides and landscapes,
rainfall trend patterns, drought vulnerability; ecology,
vegetation/forest, carbon and biomass management of Nigeria were
investigated. Finally, the problems of climate change in semi-arid
and arid regions (with special emphasis on Nigeria) and possible
solutions for sustainable development under the changing climate
were discussed in this book. Advanced technologies, such as remote
sensing, GIS, multivariate analytical tools, and machine learning
techniques, were utilized in the exploration and analysis of the
themes of this book. Thus, this book is a very important product
for point of view researchers, scientists, NGOs, and university
communities on the Nigerian climate change. This book is a useful
interdisciplinary tool, cutting across various disciplines such as
earth sciences, hydrology, environmental sciences, soil science,
engineering, remote sensing, natural resources management, and
public health management, etc.
