Map of study area Vegetation data collection Vegetation inventory was carried out in five forest types, such as adjacent natural forest, managed and unmanaged Cupressus lusitanica and Eucalyptus globulus plantation forest. The vegetation data collection was conducted by applying a nested plot design using a line transects survey. All sample plots were located at least 10 m far from the forest boundary or

This study was carried out to determine the effect of plantation forest with management intervention on woody plant species diversity in Tarmaber district north shewa zone Ethiopia, regeneration and soil seed bank species composition in five different forest types. A total of 75 circular sample plots of 314 m2 were established along a transect line...

... result indicated that the mean DBH and height of woody species both in plantation and adjacent natural forest had varied results due to management effects in the plantation forest (Table 8) Like diameter distribution, the height distributions of the study area were performed. The height distribution in each study forest types showed an inverse -J shaped curve ( Figure 10 The highest regeneration mean density of mature tree woody species was higher in the natural forest followed by the managed C. ...

... vertical distribution of soil seed banks in different forest types was assessed. The density of seeds in the soil showed similar vertical distribution in all forest types in a gradual decreasing along increasing soil depth ( Figure 12). Similar studies done by Teketay & Granström ( 1995) in dry Afromontane forests of Ethiopia showed Sig (5%) ns density of soil seed bank decreased when the soil depth is increased. ...
