A general overview of Lake Chad is contained in A.T. Grove, âLake Chad,â The Geographical Magazine, 37(7):524â537 (November 1964). Jean Maley, âHistoire de la vĂ©gĂ©tation et du climat de lâAfrique nord-tropicale au Quaternaire rĂ©cent,â Bothalia, 14(3â4):377â389 (September 1983), presents a long-term view of climate change in the Chad basin. The annual vegetation of the region is discussed in H. Gillet, âEssai dâĂ©valuation de la biomasse vĂ©gĂ©tale en zone SahĂ©lienne (vĂ©gĂ©tation annuelle),â Journal dâagriculture tropicale et botanique appliquĂ©e, 14(4-5):123â158 (AprilâMay 1967). J.-P. Carmouze, J.-R. Durand, and C. LĂ©vĂȘque (eds.), Lake Chad: Ecology and Productivity of a Shallow Tropical Ecosystem (1983), is a lengthy study of the lakeâs environment and productivity. The fish of Lake Chad and its tributaries are described in J. Blache and F. Miton, Les Poissons du bassin du Tchad et du bassin adjacent du Mayo Kebbi (1964). A particularly useful study of the peoples of the Chad basin is Albert Le Rouvreur, SahĂ©liens et Sahariens du Tchad (1962, reissued 1989). The more recently arrived Arab groups are discussed in J.C. Zeltner, Les Arabes dans la rĂ©gion du Lac Tchad: problĂšmes dâorigine et de chronologie (1977).
