The Munessa-Shashemene forest is one of the dry Afromontane forests and is dominated by ecologically and economically important tree species that are being degraded at an alarming rate. Therefore, research on the structural status of preferable indigenous tree species is essential for providing information that can be used in the implementation of sustainable forest management. Different timber-based forest products and species-specific removal impact the ability of the forest to maintain functions valuable to both biology and humanity, including the future provision of forest products and services. The objectives of this study were to identify economically important indigenous tree species and to analyze their ecological performances. In 33 plots with areas of 30 m × 30 m each, all woody species, the number of stumps, the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of all woody species grea.. Read More»
