| 1 | Effect of exclosure on woody species diversity and population structure in comparison with adjacent open grazing land: the case of Jabi Tehnan district north western Ethiopia显示文摘Land rehabilitation by area exclosure was the fastest and moderate approach of recovering degraded sites.However,the effect of exclosure on woody species parameters in Jabitehnan district,north-western Ethiopia has not been investigated.Therefore,the current study was conducted(i)to assess and compare diversity,composition and density of woody species in exclosure and adjacent open lands,and(ii)to analyze population structure as well as regeneration status of woody species.A random sampling method was employed to select a total of 40 sample plots(50m*50m).A total of 8 parallel transect lines were used inside and outside the exclosure land in each site for consecutive(50m interval)plot establishment.Species diversity was 1.7 and 3.03 for WG,1.1 and 2.94 for GW open and exclosures,respectively.Population structure of woody species in exclosures of both sites exhibited an inverted J shape which indicates good regeneration status,while in adjacent open grazing land it exhibited partial bell shape.Generally,exclosure provides various biophysical benefits better than adjacent open grazing lands.It is recommended to protect degraded lands by exclosure via integrating appropriate species and convert their diversity into use so as to develop their potential benefits on land restoration. | Melkamu Terefe Asmare Abdella Gure | 2019 | Ecosystem Health and Sustainability2019,5,1: | 1 |
| 2 | Potential of exclosure on aboveground biomass carbon stock and ecological fitness of woody species in Jabi Tehnane district, northwestern Ethiopia显示文摘Assessment of ecological fitness of woody species across land use is critical issues in degraded land restoration.However,little is known about AGBC stored capacity,important value and distribution index of woody species grows in exclosure and adjacent open lands.Therefore,this research is aimed to(i)analyse impact of exclosure on AGBC(ii)ecological fit species.A random sampling method was employed.Forty sample plots(50m*50m)were used.AGBC stocks(mean±SE)of woody species in adjacent open grazing and exclosure land use of GW site was 0.11±0.07 and 1.24±0.27Mg ha^(-1) respectively.While in adjacent open grazing and exclosure land use of WG site,the value was 0.27±0.03 and 2.79±0.27Mgha^(-1) respectively.In both site exclosure land uses,the proportion of rare,occasional and common woody species were better than their adjacent open grazing land.Cupressus lustanica from open grazing and Vernonia auriculifera from exclosure land use of WG as well as Croton macrostachyus from open grazing and Leucaena leucocephala fromexclosure land use of GWsite were recorded as top ecologically fit species.It is recommended to protect degraded lands via integrating ecologically adapted native species and fully used their diversity to achieve the potential benefits of land restoration. | Melkamu Terefe Asmare Abdella Gure | 2019 | Ecosystem Health and Sustainability2019,5,1: | 1 |
| 3 | Species composition, stand structure, and regeneration status of tree species in dry Afromontane forests of Awi Zone, northwestern Ethiopia显示文摘Species composition,structure,and regeneration status of trees were assessed in five dry Afromontane forests.In each of the forests,trees having≥5 cm diameter at breast height were identified and measured in 80 quadrats(20×20m^(2)).We compared tree species composition and similarities,stem densities,frequencies,basal area and importance value index of trees.Harvesting index was calculated to 13.3%in the least disturbed and 22.5%in highly disturbed forests.A total of 1,655 individuals representing 38 species and 28 families were recorded.The tree densities varied from 364.1 to 664.1stem ha^(−1) with an average basal area of 20.7m^(2) ha^(−1).The analysis showed significant differences in basal areas of tree species between the least and highly disturbed forests.Seedling densities ranged from 2000 to 8162.5 stem ha^(−1) and sapling densities ranged from 512.5 to 2562.5 stem ha^(−1).The anthropogenic disturbances revealed high degradation of population structure and regeneration statutes of the trees in the studied forest ecosystem.In conclusion,the study provided empirical results on the dominance,population structure,importance value and regeneration status of tree species,which would be instrumental for the development of successful rehabilitation strategies for the studied forests. | Getaneh Gebeyehu Teshome Soromessa Tesfaye Bekele Demel Teketay | 2019 | Ecosystem Health and Sustainability2019,5,1: | 1 |
| 4 | Effect of exclosure on dryland woody species restoration in northeastern Amhara,Ethiopia显示文摘In Ethiopia,among many restoration efforts to reverse deforestation and land degradation,area exclosure is one of the most common practices to restore secondary forests with assisted natural regeneration.The present study in the S ekota district,northeastern Amhara region,Ethiopia evaluated the influence of areas exclosures on woody species diversity,population structure and regeneration status.A total of 36 and 27 quadrats,each 20 m×20 m,were used to collect data in exclosures and non-exclosures,respectively.Within quadrats,four 5 m×5 m and 2 m×2 m quadrats at the corners were used to sample saplings and seedlings,respectively.In exclosures,35 woody species representing21 families and 29 genera were recorded;19 woody species representing 13 families and 13 genera were recorded in the non-exclosure.Acacia etbaica was the most dominant species in the two land-uses.The Shannon diversity index was1.77±0.46 in exclosures and 1.39±0.46 in non-exclosures.Shannon and Simpson diversity indices showed a significant difference between the two land-uses(p<0.01).The regeneration status of all wood species in exclosures was good,only fair in non-exclosures.Area exclosures have thus played a great role in the restoration of degraded lands by improving vegetation diversity and regeneration status.The least dominant woody species should be maintained through active restoration.Continuous follow-up,maintenance of soil water conservation structure to improve soil fertility will further help enhance the woody species diversity and abundance. | Mubarek Eshetie Tsegaye Gobezie Seid Muhie Dawd | 2021 | Journal of Forestry Research2021,32,5: | 0 |
