NATURE
There are saltwater marshes along the coast: mangrove forests. Slightly higher and north the marshes are fresh water. Their vegetation is completely different. Even taller tropical rainforest grows, but its stock decreases rapidly due to logging and a less-rich, secondary forest is formed. To the north, a bunch of oak trees, ebony of West Africa, form groves, or patchy patches of mucus species alternating with grassy savannahs. The vegetation of most of the country is a word of mouth. There are several kinds of savannahs in Nigeria. The "guinean" savannah grows tall grass, scattered trees are high, large rivers are accompanied by galleries. The "Sudanese" savannah is a similar landscape, but the grass is shorter, the trees are lower. In the "secular" savannah the grassy parts alternate with acacia and incense trees with pungent, dry shrubs. Going north, there is less rainfall. In the South, tropical rain forests allow rainfall, where the powerful tropical monsoon drains the landscape with 1250-3500 mm annual precipitation. Here the dry season is in August and from November to February. Due to the heavy rains on the beach, we find mangroves, sea-going forests, though these areas have been heavily restored by the demolition. In southern states, the relative humidity is very high and the temperature fluctuates steadily between 20 and 30 ° C day and night. Towards the north, tropical forests give way to the more open plateaus, and temperature differences and fluctuations will increase. The highest temperature is between 30 and 40 ° C and the coolest fluctuates between 15 and 25 ° C. Northern Savannah receives about 1000 mm rainfall per year in two shorter rainy seasons. When dry, dusty, sandy wind blows in the long dry season from the Sahara, the frost is not unknown in some northern regions. Far far north, some landscapes are semi-desert in the low annual rainfall.
TOURISM
In the south, the sea is bordered by idyllic sandy coasts for miles, which is broken only at the mouth of the streams. The country is characterized by the multitude of ethnic groups and natural attractions (eg waterfalls). An outstanding tourist area of the Mambilla plateau in Taraba state.
