	afrol News - Rise and Fall of the Adamawa Emirate
		Adamawa was known as "The wild east" of the Caliphate, were Fulbe settlers occupied the vast highlands of Northern Cameroon and provided slaves for the empire from the neighboring areas.
		Adamawa may be seen as the last link in a chain of empires being Islamized in the Sudan-belt during the last grand movement of Muslim expansion in Africa.
		The vast plateau in the south, on the other hand, made the establishment of greater, uniform territories possible, which were easier to control for an empire basing its military force on cavalry.

		The Lake Chad Basin is situated in the approximate center of the Northern Plateau.
		Other features south of this plateau, which averages more than 900 m (about 3000 ft) in elevation, are the Drakensberg Mountains, running some 1100 km (about 700 mi) along the southeastern coast; and, in the extreme south, the High Veld, an arid plateau covering much of South Africa.

		In Adamawa and Bauchi, on the other hand, the pagans generally managed to avoid pitched battles and instead retired to fastnesses in the hills from which it was extremely difficult to dislodge them.
		On the contrary, the plains of the north merged imperceptibly into the foothills of the plateau and so it was inevitable that with the passage of time the tribes of the foothills should begin to absorb some of the civilization of the plains.
		Lafia, which stands in the plain between the plateau and the Benue, was a recent Kanuri settlement and its people, by subduing the surrounding pagans, had in the space of about fifteen years created a small city state.

		On the west and south sides the plateau is demarcated by a scarp 500 m to 700 m in height, but on the plateau’s northern side the transition to the lower plains is less abrupt.
		The rocks of the Jos Plateau are mainly granites that are part of the Pre-Cambrian Basement Complex, an ancient group of crystalline rocks that used to form part of the land surface of the Gondwanan supercontinent (Buchanan and Pugh 1955).
		Temperatures on the Jos Plateau are lower than the surrounding areas, with minima of 15.5°C to 18.5°C to maxima of 27.5°C to 30.5°C. On the Plateau, the rainfall is around 2,000 mm in the wetter southwest, and declines to around 1,500 mm in the northeast.

		Geographically, the region is diverse, divided between the mountainous Mambila Plateau in Nigeria and the Tikar Plain and Adamawa Plateau in Cameroon.
		For the most part the Mambila languages are located in the mountainous region, with some dialects being spoken on both the Tikar Plain and the Adamawa Plateau.
		Research in progress suggests that the accepted view, established by Perrin and Hill (1969), of a basic dialect division between plateau and plains varieties of Mambila is not accurate.

		The plateau has a mild highland subtropical climate with a mean annual temperature of 22˚C, a relative humidity of 40 - 60% and a precipitation of 1600 - 1700 mm per annum falling mainly between April and October.
		The treatments were three harvesting intervals at 8, 10 and 12 weeks arranged in a completely randomised block design in 6 replications separately for the cultivated and native pastures for two growing seasons during 1995 and 1996 (mid August - early November).

		The plateau has a mild highland subtropical climate (mean annual temperature of 22 ˚C and a relative humidity of 40 - 60 %), with a precipitation of 1600 - 1700 mm per annum, falling mainly between April and October.
		During the 20 weeks storage of hay the change in quality was negligible, except for protein content, which declined from 43.8g/kg DM at baling time to 40.3 g/kg DM at week 20.
		The slight reduction of the crude protein content could be related to a continuous slow dissipation of NPN formed by respiration associated with the drying process.
