Abstract:This study was conducted in Stubbs Creek Forest Reserve, (SCFR) Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The aim was to analyse the morphometric traits of this area, using some relevant terrain attributes (elevation, slope and aspect) in ascertaining areas threatened by significant ecological problems such as flood, erosion and others. In terms of method of study, a digital elevation model (DEM) was purchased as a raster with longitude and latitude; geo-referenced, but re-projected to WGS, UTM zone 32 N in order to enhance d… Show more
