摘要: The study discusses the impact of climate change on aquatic lives in Niger Delta region. To realise this, basically adopted a library search design reviewing literatures Meteorological data (rainfall, temperature and humidity) were also extracted from to explain evidence areas. meteorological showed that, temperature, rainfall humidity have changed over last 10 years. This translates because it is at least up decade (10-year period), a 1.5°C rise 2003 2013 an increase 342.2 mm amount Delta. These clearly paint picture global warming. Furthermore, same period, there was decrease 9% area. Thus, very clear that changing time within this certainly has some effects Fauna In fact, for next years, fauna now inhabit various habitats may no longer be able adapt changes, leading their extinction total elimination question. And as such, these will either modify body structure function order tolerate climate, migrate new comfortable habitat or even stand risk becoming extinct. abate region, introduction water management reform policy implementation, carbon sequestration amongst others recommended. electronic document “live” template. components your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] are already defined style sheet, illustrated by portions given document.
