Impressions from Fieldwork on Land degradation in Nigeria

Among other things in Nigeria, land degradation and its impact is social-economic and ecological threatening, particularly in the Nigerian Guinea Savannah (NGS) zone of the country. This is why Adenle Ademola A. (Ph.D student)  is focusing his research on assessing Land Degradation and its Impacts on Ecosystem Services in the Nigerian Guinea Savannah with a special focus on Insights for Sustainable Land Management. The study questions were to be analyzed using a hybrid method of remote sensing techniques along with surveys, focus group discussions and interviews to collect data, which was quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed to capture degradation episodes in the Nigerian Guinea savannah. The necessitated fieldwork was conducted for six months between January, 2019 - June, 2019.
