AN ANALYSIS OF NIGERIAN SAVANNA.

The article discusses the method of population division that was used in a study that analyzes a series of sample plots in Nigerian savanna. It eliminates the primary disadvantages found in the sample data but retains the population division process. Due to the difficulty of the earlier method, it proposes an alternative technique that makes use of an inter-plot similarity coefficient. It divides the Gombe sandstone vegetation into groups, thus yielding a result that corresponds closely with the empirical vegetation classification of the previous research work.
