Abstract:
GPS points were collected during July and August 2021 across all 15 Local Government Authorities in Ekiti State, Nigeria. All points were transcribed into an Excel spreadsheet and verified on a map using GEE. GPS points were collected using the GPS Dragon app on a mobile phone with accuracy of within three meters. The land use categories were based on Ashiagbor et al. (2020, doi:10.1016/j.rsase.2020.100349) research and included built-up area/bare land, agricultural land, agroforestry cocoa, full sun cocoa, plantations, primary forest, and secondary forest. 634 points were collected to represent all 7 land types were collected. The data was used for remote sensing analysis utilizing vegetation indices to assess the extent of cocoa agroforestry.
