ABSTRACT Browsing by ungulates is commonly assumed to target the upper parts of sapling crowns, leading reduced vertical growth or even cessation. However, extent which browsing induces shifts in resource allocation toward lateral remains unclear. This study explores impact intensity (BI) and light availability on architectural traits six temperate tree species, focusing height‐diameter ratio (H/D), crown slenderness (CL/CW), irregularity (CI) across height classes. pressure responses varied...
The goal of this study was to elucidate the research gap on woody species diversity and regeneration in Ethiopian natural managed forests. Ethiopia is a biodiversity hotspot Horn Africa, having large variety indigenous species. Ecological variability, population increase, climate change-related disturbances have all had an impact across various gradients country. Nonetheless, extant evidence for forests suggests that Ethiopia's Shannon index (H') evenness (E) are equivalent those seen...
Native trees in agroforestry systems sustain soil properties by building up and recycling nutrients a sustainable manner. Aims: This manuscript aimed to assess the impact of different species on chemical properties. Methods: Soil samples were collected from within outside canopy zones native tree (Cordia africana, Ficus sur) perennial tuber crop (Manihot esculenta) at three elevations. Results: The results showed that, significantly better all compared outside. However, there was...
Forest is one of the vital resources that determine livelihood, environmental stability, and societal development. Duguna Fango biologically diverse deeply threatened in region. The area has undergone extensive changes since 1980s due to shifting cultivation, deforestation, urbanization, growing human population drought. Thus, this research was conducted investigate status forest change degradation by using available satellite imageries at Woreda. It based on corrected optical data (Landsat...
The impact of ungulate browsing on tree saplings has been found to have a negative effect the regeneration temperate forests. However, it remains ambiguous whether relationship exists between intensity and soil quality in natural Therefore, we conducted study Roztoczańskie National Park investigate for saplings. aim was gain better understanding how affects ungulates species. Baseline data (sapling height, basal diameter, crown length width, browsed-shoot samples) were collected from 22 belt...
The study was conducted in five administrative zones of the Ethiopian Somali Regional State, with objectives characterizing major camel browse and grazed plant species their seasonal availability pastoral agro-pastoral areas. A semi-structured questionnaire, group discussions, field observations, key informant interviews were used as primary data collection tools, while different secondary sources also used. total 150 household heads selected purposively for formal interview. results showed...
Forest is one of the crucial resources that determine livelihood, environmental stability, and socio-cultural value dependent people. However, being deteriorated by different drivers it becoming a global agenda with deep-rooted implications following massive forest clearance deterioration. This research was conducted to diagnose causes deforestation degradation devise ways for vegetation cover improvement opportunities at Duguna Fango Woreda. With random sampling approach, ten districts...
Abstract This study aims to compare the proportion of macronutrients in different parts aboveground biomass; and estimate amount macronutrient loss from continuous farmlands (mechanized farm traditional farm) plantation stands ( Cupresus lusitanica Eucalyptus saligna ) through harvesting. From 20 × m 2 sized sample plots, a representative samples were collected leaf, branch stem stands. Macronutrient analyses carried out for taken plantations maize crops on farmlands. All data subjected...
Knowledge of the quantity twig dry mass (available fodder) saplings is crucial for understanding tree recruitment under wild ungulate browsing pressure in forest ecosystems. Therefore, this study aimed to develop allometric equations estimating using sapling structural data and model various species size classes while quantitatively describing variations among species. Sapling biomass samples were taken six widely spread two national parks Poland. After drying oven 72 hours at 65°C,...
Abstract in Krakow, Poland The incorporation of woody components ensures the sustainability land productivity through complementary resource acquisition and nutrient cycling. Hover, integrated species, however, play a major role determining environmental impact agroforestry practices. In order to compare effects plants on various soil chemical properties, three species: Cordia africana, Ficus sur, Manihot esculenta were selected from different elevation ranges; samples collected canopy zone...
