  Author(s): Temesgen Hordofa Waktura*
  
  This study evaluates the structure and regeneration status of woody species in the Debelle Forest, in Central Highland of Ethiopia. Data were collected from a total of 50 quadrats of 20 m × 20 m (400 m2) at a distance of 100 m from each other using systematic random sampling techniques. In each quadrats, woody species of trees and shrubs with DBH > 2.5 cm and a height > 2 m of vegetation data were collected. For regeneration assessment density of seedlings and saplings of each species were recorded from five sub-quadrats of 5 m × 5 m (25 m2) demarcated at the four corners and one in the center. The general analysis of vegetation implied that the forest possesses the highest number of DBH, height, and density of species at the lower classes and the vertical stratification implied that most of the species in the Debelle Forest ..
