- Observation Dambo vegetation in the NNR comprised 110 woody and 73 grass species across the sampled transects.
- Observation The most common tree species in the dambos were Vitex doniana, Burkea africana, Syzygium cordatum and Annona senegalensis.
- Observation For grass vegetation, the most abundant species were Andropogon eucomus and Helictotrichon turgidulum.
- Observation According to the IVI, the most dominant tree and shrub species were V. doniana, Pseudolachnostylis maprouneifolia, A. senegalensis and S. cordatum.
- Observation Homogeneity of dambo vegetation (Hill's N2 = 18.92) was low on average across all dambos.
- Observation Evenness of dambo vegetation (H = −4.27) was low on average across all dambos.
- Observation Dambo 2 was the most heterogeneous dambo (Hill's N2 = 18.21).
- Observation Dambo 1 was the least heterogeneous dambo (Hill's N2 = 5.71).
- Observation Dambo 6 was the most equitable dambo (H = −1.35).
- Observation Dambo 2 was the least equitable dambo (H = −3.72).
- Observation Four main groups of dambos were identified, based mainly on the water gradient.
- Observation The first three ordination axes captured almost 83% of the data variation.
- Observation No significant differences were found between species communities in the dambos (p = 0.42).
- Association Human activities do not necessarily affect the structure and diversity of dambos in the NNR.
