The researchers studied the diversity of woody plants in Ades Dry Afromontane Forest in Ethiopia. They used circular plots to count trees and shrubs, and calculated diversity and evenness values. They found 65 species from 38 families, with Rosaceae having the most species. The diversity index ranged from low to moderate, indicating some species were more common than others. Species with higher importance values were also more diverse. The distribution of species was influenced by both the species themselves and the environment.
