摘要: The study was conducted on Wotagisho forest in Boloso Sore Woreda, Wolaita Zone, and Southwest, Ethiopia, to determine the floristic composition, vegetation structure, community type, regeneration conservation status of woody species. Systematic sampling method used collect data from 50 quadrats (20m x 20m) established along transects. Analysis structure indicated that not under good status. Anthropogenic activities carried out area such as cattle overgrazing, cutting tree for fire wood, charcoal house construction were major threats forest. Therefore, it is recommended timely measures should be taken by all stakeholders sustain utilization area.
