Match each Nigerian biome or habitat on the left with its corresponding vegetative characteristic or indicator adaptation on the right.
- Tropical RainforestDense multi-layered canopy, buttress roots, and abundant epiphytes
- Mangrove SwampRespiratory pneumatophores, stilt roots, and high salt tolerance
- Southern Guinea SavannaTall grasses interpersed with deciduous broad-leaved trees like Daniellia oliveri
- Sahel SavannaSparse vegetation dominated by thorny acacias, short grasses, and drought resistance
Answer
Tropical Rainforest matches dense multi-layered canopy, buttress roots, and abundant epiphytes; Mangrove Swamp matches respiratory pneumatophores, stilt roots, and high salt tolerance; Southern Guinea Savanna matches tall grasses interspersed with deciduous broad-leaved trees; Sahel Savanna matches sparse vegetation dominated by thorny acacias and short grasses.
Each biome matches its characteristic indicator flora and physical adaptation to local environmental factors such as rainfall, soil aeration, and salinity.
