Produktbeschreibung

Technical Report from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, grade: A, , course: Environmental Economics, language: English, abstract: It was a sunny day when I together with my team visited that small community called Aule via Akure, Akure south Local Government Area (L.G.A.). Akure is the capital city of Ondo state in Nigeria. Our group gathered together at Ilesha motor park popularly called Ilesha garage but surprisingly another group joined us that same hour and we went together but later got parted when we entered the main community. The road was a little bit friendly for motorcycle at the onset of the journey but became worse as we were about to enter into the main community, erosion/run-off effect became pronounced and it has devastated the road in the form of pot-holes. The terrain was a little bit challenging to transportation. Aule community had a good landscape as we saw lowlands and hills, rocks and fine sands, planted trees and shrubs, cultivable soils filled with banana and plantain especially at the front and backyard of different houses along the road. Planting of arable crops was also seen along the road. Social amenities were fairly developed as we saw several NDDC projects along the road such as portable water supply and electricity. The climate as witnessed here was fairly conducive to plant and animal raising but the effect of climate change as our core reason for visiting the community cannot be neglected, therefore, this report summarizes the effects of climate change over the years (precisely five years back) on Agricultural production in Aule community, Akure south L.G.A., Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
