  1. Mangrove Swamp ForestCevap
  2. B
    High Rain Forest
  3. C
    Southern Guinea Savanna
  4. D
    Sudan Savanna

Cevap

Mangrove Swamp Forest
The correct answer is Mangrove Swamp Forest because it forms a continuous ecological zone along Nigeria's Atlantic coastline, lagoons, and the Niger Delta where trees rely on specialized stilt roots for stability in muddy, saline estuaries.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the environmental conditions described in the question.
The habitat consists of coastal creeks, lagoons, and salty/brackish waters of southern Nigeria.
Nigeria's vegetation distribution follows a latitudinal pattern dictated by rainfall, proximity to the coast, and soil salinity.
2
Identify the vegetation belt matching these environmental adaptations.
The Mangrove Swamp Forest consists of species such as Rhizophora racemosa (red mangrove) equipped with stilt roots to anchor in muddy, saline tidal waters.
Stilt roots are a unique structural adaptation allowing plants to withstand wave action and soft mud in coastal ecosystems.
