From the angle of climate change, it can serve as shelter, produce large vegetative cover, and assist in mitigating the effect of climate change. These selected tree species have the potential for soil adaptability and can produce fruits effectively within the target location (Malakyariri Ward of Mafa LGA, Borno state) due to the fertile nature of the soil structure and composition.
