Abstract

The study was conducted in Wof-Washa Woodland within the central good countries of Ethiopia, pointing at deciding the effect of height and anthropogenic unsettling influence on plant species composition, structure, and differences of the timberland. Eighteen transect lines with 632 meters separated from each other were built up from best to foot. A add up to of 115 fundamental plots for all communities with 20 × 20 m, were set up along transect lines from the upper portion of the woodland to the river’s edge. To gather information on seedlings and saplings, 5 m × 5 m and 10 m × 10 m subplots were laid separately inside the most testing plots. For each plot the plant species were tallied, breadth at breast stature and tallness of trees and bushes were measured. The human unsettling influence information were outwardly assessed for each plot in each community. Plant community classification was made taking after Ethiopia agro-ecological zones. Plant species differences and abundance were found related to human unsettling influence and elevation. A add up to of 108 species having a place to 99 genera and 57 families were recognized. That comes about uncovered that Asteraceae was the foremost assorted higher plant family with nine species (8.3%) taken after by Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Rosaceae with six (5.5%) species each. The by and large Shannon differences and equality record of the timberland were 4.02 and 0.86 separately. The presence of solid human unsettling influence demonstrates the require for prompt preservation in arrange to guarantee feasible utilization and administration of the timberland.
