摘要: The plant communities of the forests southwestern Ethiopia were described based on floristic analysis data collected between February 1995 and May 1996. Floristic is cover-abundance values both woody herbaceous species. Plant community-environment relationship was assessed topog raphic some soil physical chemical characteristics. A total 101 releves analysed at altitudes 1050 2550 m a.s.l. (metres above sea level), a 139 species vascular plants identified. Nine community types described. Most these show significant variations for most environmental parameters studied. in forest phytogeographically related to Afromontane, Guineo-Congolean or linking Key words/phrases: classification, Ethiopia, community, transitional rainforest SINET: Ethiopian Journal Science Vol.25(2) 2002: 155-175
