Assessing Changes in Kagoro Forest, Kaduna State Nigeria using Remote Sensing and Gis
並列摘要
Already georeferenced satellite imageries for 1987, 1994 and 2005 were used to study the land cover changes in the Kagoro forest. The results of the study revealed that settlement and cultivated area increased between 1987 and 2005 by 72 and 17.77% respectively while undisturbed forest decreased 24.06%. This result shows a significant depletion of the Kagoro forest as a consequence of human activities particularly cultivation for agricultural purposes. At the present rate, the forest is in danger of being destroyed and laid bare in the nearest future. T his trend has implication for global carbon dioxide loading and temperature.
