TY - JOUR A1 - Heinrich, Jürgen T1 - Geoecological arguments for field terracing in parts of the southern Gongola Basin, Tangale-Waja region, NE-Nigeria T2 - Berichte des Sonderforschungsbereichs 268 N2 - The paper presents a short introduction to the environmental factors, e.g. climate, geology, relief forms and soils of the study area in the southern parts of the Gongola Basin. The study area covers the high mountain range of the Tangale-Waja Uplands and the adjacent pediplain, following in the north. It is asked if the natural factors enforced former inhabitants of the area to develop special land use techniques like field terracing to ensure the essential crop production under insufficient geoecological conditions.
