Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation A total of 62 woody species were identified in 47 genera and 43 families.
- Observation Rosaceae had the highest species richness, with 5 (11.6%) species.
- Observation 557 mature trees per hectare were observed in the sampled plots.
- Observation 747 saplings per hectare were observed in the sampled plots.
- Observation 1036 seedlings per hectare were observed in the sampled plots.
- Observation Seven species, including Clutia abyssinica and Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata, were associated with about 49.98% of the importance values.
- Observation The forest has a poor regeneration status.
- Observation The vegetation structure is similar to and distinct from other similar forests in Ethiopia.
- Association Population pressure is associated with grazing effects, which the authors link to difficult management of highland forests.
