==Location and description==
The ecoregion extends across the Nigerian states of [[Abia State|Abia]], [[Akwa Ibom]], [[Anambra]], [[Ebonyi]], and [[Imo State|Imo]], covering an area of {{convert|20,700|km2|sqmi|sp=us}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cross-Niger Transition Forests |url=https://fortuneofafrica.com/cross-niger-transition-forests/ |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=Fortune of Africa {{!}} Investment in Africa |language=en-US}}</ref>. The Niger River separates the Cross–Niger transition forests from the [[Nigerian lowland forests]] to the west, which probably resembles most closely the original environment of the Cross–Niger ecoregion. To the south and south-west lies the [[Niger Delta swamp forests]]. To the north, the Cross–Niger transition forests yield to the [[Guinean forest-savanna mosaic]] of the drier interior.
The climate is wet, becoming drier further inland, with a dry season from December to February.
