Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The forest ecosystem had 51 tropical hardwood species distributed into 24 families.
- Observation The Shannon–Weiner indices of the forests varied from 3.25 to 2.74.
- Intervention effect Enrichment Planting Forest had the highest biodiversity indices.
- Intervention effect All variables were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the forest regenerated through enrichment planting.
- Association Soil properties did not differ significantly among the forest types in general.
- Association Total nitrogen differed significantly at depths of 30–45 and 45–60 cm for the Strict Nature Reserve (SNR) forest.
- Recommendation Enrichment planting has potential for soil fertility improvement, volume yield increment and restoration of degraded forests.
- Recommendation Enrichment planting is recommended for forest restoration in developing countries.
